Exhibit
Exhibits consist of a visual display of a single work or a collection of work by one or more students (i.e. paintings, drawings, prints, posters, photography, sculpture, ceramics, installation, multi-media).
An exhibit should be accompanied by a general statement of purpose and individual artist statements that provide an intellectual context both for the collection as a whole and for its individual pieces. Presenters should be prepared to entertain the viewers’ questions after the exhibition.
Exhibits will be available for viewing throughout the celebration, with a designated time slot during which presenters will discuss their work with viewers.
