The 54th Annual Juried Undergraduate Exhibition is an extraordinary opportunity for emerging artists to share their artwork with a larger public and to enhance their skills in presenting artwork in a professional gallery setting.

Entries are reviewed by an outside art professional who selects the works for exhibition at the WCU Fine Art Museum. Selected works will be on view at the Museum from February 15 through March 18, 2022.

This year, the exhibition juror is Catherine (Cat) Shteynberg, Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions at the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

This exhibition includes cash awards in several media categories, including two awards in 2-D Media, two awards in 3-D Media, 1 award in Design, and 1 award in Time-Based Media, as well as an overall Best in Show. An awards ceremony will be held at the WCU Fine Art Museum on Thursday, February 24 from 5:00-7:00 PM.
