The annual SAC Student Juried Art Show opened on May 8, with students eager to showcase their talents and accomplishments. Juried by skilled art faculty across disciplines, students could submit up to four pieces for a $3 entry fee each with 100 submitted entries accepted. The juried exhibition format provides students with a level of experience and growth that showcases the potential, unique voice and dedication of each artist. The strongest pieces created within the last year were chosen and awarded in their respective categories, including painting, drawing, illustration, photography, ceramics and more. During the reception, donors provided thousands of dollars of award money for student prizes.
