DAYTON -- When Sharon Gratto became chair of the University of Dayton's music department in 2008, she had the impression that the arts at the school were a best-kept secret.
She believes that's beginning to change, in part because of UD's annual Celebration of the Arts, which will kick off April 5 at the Schuster Center with a showcase of some of the best work the university has to offer.

At the center of the exhibit are two wire sculptures that stand as sentinels to the walls adorned with shrouded, spectral figures, where no faces appear. "This covering not only conveys the idea of the romanticized and classical notion of motherhood that both condenses and dehumanizes the mother/child relationship, but also has a transformative effect that takes on a monumental and sculptural appearance that induces the impression of religious iconography," [Marlene Smalling] explains in a handout for visitors.
