The Student Design Exhibition will be the first to open on March 23 - April 1. The Student Design Exhibition features work from the interior design, fashion design, photography, and communication art and design departments. It opens at the Anderson Gallery on Friday, March 23 with a reception at 5 p.m. The annual Student Fine Arts Exhibition, now in its 30th year, will feature paintings, prints, sculptures, drawings, crafts, photography and video.
Students are eligible to enter up to three pieces of work.
Students do not need to be art majors to participate, but they do need to be enrolled in at least one fine art class during the time of the exhibition. Each year the Anderson Gallery brings to Virginia Commonwealth University, a noted expert to judge the Student Fine Art Show. This year the juror for the Student Fine Arts Exhibition will be Dennis Szakacs, Deputy Director for the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Mr. Szakacs was the former managing director of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, a leading alternative space in New York. He has extensive experience as an arts administrator, art critic, and exhibition manager.
