51st Annual Juried Undergraduate Exhibition

Exhibition: February 19 - March 22, 2018
Reception: Thursday, March 21 from 5-7pm

Western Carolina University’s Annual Juried Undergraduate Exhibition is one of the longest-running Catamount art traditions. For emerging artists, this exhibition is an extraordinary opportunity to share their artwork with a larger public and to enhance their skills in presenting artwork in a professional gallery setting. Their work is reviewed by an outside art professional who has the challenge of making selections from the many talented students who submit an application. This year, the exhibition is juried by Lee Walton, Associate Professor of Art at UNC Greensboro.

The WCU Fine Art Museum is pleased to showcase twenty-nine works in this year’s exhibition, on display from February 19 – March 22, 2019. Created by undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines, the works on view encompass a range of mediums, including photography, sculpture, ceramics, digital animation, graphic design, book arts, painting, drawing, and printmaking.

There will be a reception and awards ceremony on Thursday, March 21, from 5-7PM at the museum.
