The current art exhibition in Dupont Gallery is UMW’s Annual Student Art Exhibition. This exhibition contains student work from the past year that has been both created in a studio art class at UMW and selected by this year’s juror, Aaron Fine. Fine is a professor and department chair of art, design and art history at Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo.
The role of a juror is to review all of the student submissions and select the work that they think has the best quality and depth. Fine was also responsible for selecting a number of awards for the show.
“I look forward to the Annual Student Art Exhibition every year because it’s really cool to see all your classmates work in the same place,” said Colleen Cragun, a senior double major in studio art and psychology. “It is really exciting to finally see your own art up in a gallery after so long.”
Below are a few pieces that are in the Annual Student Art Exhibition. All of the following information is from the UMW galleries website and gallery labels.
