Alumni Bevan Suits ’85 makes his debut ‘as an artist’, having considered himself a designer since his graduation from MCAD. “I identify as a designer. Visual art has been a nervous impulse and really something I inherited, developing skills and ideas over a long time. The point is to have fun with paper, line, and color. Hopefully that will come through,” he shared with Isthmus.

His work is categorized in five themes: cats, abstract psychedelia, great teachers, pop culture, and a series of photographs from his time exploring states across the United States. As Suits explains, “in this era of AI, we should be promoting drawing skills and physical media more than ever. That’s where the wisdom is. Algorithms have no soul. Hands and eyes are miraculous.”

His work will be on view at the Lakeside Street Coffee House in September, and at the Ballwag Gallery at the Goodman Community Center in October and November.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
