The student artwork is selected by art department faculty from work students completed in classes throughout the year. The 2003 exhibit represents all levels of courses in drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, dimensional design, watercolor, photography, graphic design, and typography.

The artist of each winning selection will be presented with a People’s Choice Commendation, which carries a $100 cash prize sponsored by the Friends of the Thorne. The winners will be announced on Monday, May 5.
