A late autumn rain did little to dampen spirits of the more than 800 who gathered at Meany Theater, Sunday, November 20, to take in a pop-up art gallery before the curtain went up on a show featuring 15 acts. Among the performers: sensational singers, self-directed students, and deft dancers; educators of all stripes and disciples of all disciplines. Now in its third year, Ovations! is where the manifold interests and artistic pursuits of the UW community converge for one afternoon in a show featuring artwork and performances by staff, students, and faculty.
