Seattle, WA – Sculptor Dan Webb (Art ‘91) is featured in the second installment of this exhibition series, presented at Cornish College of the Arts. Part of the Alumni Retrospective Series, Unring the Bell emphasizes Webb’s artistic development from his student experiences at Cornish through recent years. Featuring a comic book co-created by Dan Webb and Cornish student Kelly Martin (Art ’10) the exhibition focuses on student and early work, especially that which plays a key role in the artist’s development. The artist’s following solo show at Greg Kucera Gallery (opening February 18) picks up where this exhibition leaves off, and visitors are encouraged to visit both venues for a cohesive look at his career.
The Alumni Retrospective Series focuses on the trajectory of one artist’s career within the context of their Cornish education. Featuring class projects and other work from their student days through their development into their current work, these exhibitions provide the public and students a different perspective on the work of an established Cornish graduate.

About Cornish College of the Arts
Cornish College of the Arts is nationally recognized as a premier college of the visual and performing arts offering Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in dance, theater, art, design and performance production, and a Bachelor of Music degree. A pioneer in arts education, Cornish College of the Arts sprang from the remarkable vision of Nellie Cornish, a woman determined to cultivate the arts in Seattle when it was scarcely more than a frontier town. Her philosophy of educating the artist through exposure to all the arts was progressive at the time, and continues to be innovative today.
