The annual Student Art Exhibition highlights the work of students and faculty over the past academic year. The exhibition presents work in Studio Arts (ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture) and Multimedia Art (graphic design/digital art, and analogue/digital photography).

An independent juror is invited by the Gallery to select the artwork for the exhibition and the associated awards. This year’s exhibition juror was Shiva Ahmadi, Artist and Art Professor at UC Davis. A total of 61 artists entered 212 works, and 41 artists were selected, with 56 works presented in the Gallery exhibition and here online.

Much appreciation to our Sponsor, the Frank W. Clancy Memorial Fund, for funding the Portfolio Awards at $200 each. Students with a major or minor in Studio Arts or Multimedia Arts are eligible to enter the Portfolio Awards. In addition, the Gallery Foundation funded six $100 Merit Awards, eligible to any of the exhibited work. Special thanks to 188bet±¸ÓÃÍøÖ· College President, Dr. Aguilera Lawrenson, and Vice President, Dr. Braden, for presenting an award for the artwork of their choice.
