The exhibition represents the first retrospective of the artist’s career in over thirty years. </p><p>Created between 1962 and 2006, the works reproduced online are drawn entirely from the Robert W. Fichter Archive at UMBC. The selection highlights the artist’s experimental approach to examining the human condition. Employing shifting moods and mediums as well as wit, humor, and satire, Fichter delivers trenchant critiques of war, nuclear proliferation, and environmental disaster. Firmly rooting his expressive compositions in a strong sense of place—the surreal landscapes of his native Florida—he presents a singular vision of humanity on the brink.</p><p>The <a href="https://artscalendar.umbc.edu/experimentalist-the-art-of-robert-w-fichter/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">exhibition </a><em>Experimentalist: The Art of Robert Fichter</em> was curated by Tom Beck, Curator Emeritus.

GSOs are only required to submit two points of contact who will be added to our GSO email list so we can more easily communicate with you throughout the year. The structure of the group's leadership can be left up the GSO as well.  Please note that while GSOs no longer need to attend our monthly GSA Senate meetings, we welcome any GSO member to attend; you can find the list of Senate meeting dates <a href="https://gsa.umbc.edu/graduate-senate/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>.   </div><div><br></div><div>After registering, GSOs can also begin applying for event funding by filling out an <a href="https://gsa.umbc.edu/event-planning-2/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Allocation Request Form</a>. All Allocation request forms will be reviewed monthly by the Grants Review Panel and you will receive communication from the GSA Community Liaison regarding the status of your request as well as instructions for reimbursement. </div><div><br>This year, the GSA Senators representing the 3 different colleges (COEIT, CAHSS and CNMS) as well as the Non-Academic GSOs will be hosting town halls aimed at their college or group. Once we have set those dates, we will be in touch so you may spread the word to your peers and departments. </div><div><br></div><div>Once all GSOs are registered, we will also offer training sessions to review event planning and reimbursement procedures, more information on those coming soon.   </div><div><br></div><div>Please let us know if you have any questions and we are looking forward to your participation this year!  </div><div><br></div></div>
