The exhibition includes works by students working in media including drawing, painting, illustration, ceramic design, fiber arts and fashion design, sculpture, integrated design, graphic design, digital media, photography, and mixed media/installation. A panel of three jurors, including a community artist, an art & design faculty member and a graduating senior student, make the selections for inclusion in the exhibit and awards.
The annual student juried exhibit provides a venue to celebrate the talents of our students, notes Carrie Flaspohler, Gallery Director/Curator of the Finlandia University Gallery. For many students this is their first experience entering work into a juried exhibit, it is a great learning tool for their professional careers.
