The Ashland University Juried Student Art + Design Exhibition opens on Thursday, March 3, in the Coburn Gallery.
This exhibition will offer $950 in awards to student artists, including Best in Show, Honorable Mentions, Bernini Award, Dean’s Award, Wink Alumni award, AU Permanent Collection Award and the People’s Choice Award. The awards will be announced at the opening reception of the exhibition on March 3, 2022. The People’s Choice award will be announced on the Coburn Gallery’s Facebook page on March 23, 2022.
The annual exhibition represents a culmination of student work from university art classes during the school year. It is an opportunity for art students to take their best artwork from the year, learn how to professionally present it for display, and then receive feedback from an outside art professional.
The outside juror for exhibition was Heidi Weller. Weller grew up in Columbus Ohio and studied classical Greek and Latin in college, though by the time she entered graduate school her interests were changed to art, specifically photography. Weller worked as an industrial and commercial photographer in Columbus for a number of years, then moved with her family to the Ashland area. Heidi has exhibited works at the national and regional level and is an active member of the Ashland arts community.
The exhibition is an excellent opportunity to support the arts by purchasing a student artwork, whether you are just starting to collect art or adding to a collection.
The exhibition runs from March 3-23, 2022. A generous donation from Dr. Wendy and Scott Schaller, Dan McDonald, AU Permanent Art Collection and other private donors has allowed the University to offer several of these awards.
The Coburn Gallery is open from 10am-5pm Monday through Friday and 12pm-4pm on Saturday/ Sunday. Gallery admission is free and open to the public. For more information about the exhibition, call 419.289.5652 or visit us on Facebook.
