This annual tradition offers a platform for students to showcase their best work in a professional gallery setting and receive recognition from an esteemed guest juror. The 2025 exhibition will be juried by Lindsay Saunders, a contemporary artist known for her dynamic, concept-driven work and community-based art practices.
