Yager Wins People’s Choice Art Award at KSC Student Exhibition

From Jackie Hooper, Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery:

Senior art major Jessica Yager of Bellows Falls, Vt., was voted the winner of the People’s Choice Award for “Gibbous Fountain,” a cast bronze statue standing in a shower of water in front of a wall of faces, displayed in “Emerging Art” at the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery.
During the first weeks of the annual KSC art students’ exhibition, visitors were invited to vote for their favorite work of art. Yager won the majority of the 479 votes cast. She will receive a $100 cash award from the Friends of the Thorne, along with a People’s Choice Commendation.
“Emerging Art” will be on display through Saturday, May 8, when gallery hours will be extended from noon to 5 p.m. for Commencement.
