Reminder: Spring Juried Art Exhibition

From Devon Nowlin, Gallery Director
As a reminder - artwork delivery for the OPEN CALL is taking place this Thursday, 4 - 6 pm and Friday morning, 9 - 11 am. Students should bring works to Moudy Gallery during these times to have them considered for exhibition and awards.

I have sent students this reminder as well, and have gotten a few questions back about whether or not to frame work. If they ask you about it, please encourage proper presentation for paper and photographic works, in particular. The juror will surely consider presentation, though framing isn't a requirement for entering work.

Opening Reception and Awards Presentation next Monday, February 16, 5 - 6:30 pm
