The annual Santa Fe College (SF) Student Juried Art Exhibition will showcase some of the best painting, drawing, printmaking, photography and ceramic works from the college’s Fine Arts students, beginning on Friday, April 17.
Between 70 and 100 pieces of art will be on display in the Santa Fe College Art Gallery from April 17 through May 1. An opening reception will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. that will precede the exhibition at 3000 NW 83rd St., Building M, Room 147, in Gainesville.
The final pieces for the event are curated first by SF Visual Art faculty, who score the student-produced submissions, which this year numbered more than 300. From there, the scores are tabulated to determine the final selection of works.
For the competition portion, a guest juror from outside SF — in this case, Carly Shooster, assistant director and instructor of the Sequential Artists’ Workshop — selects the first place, second place, third place and honorable mention awards. Winners of the student exhibition will receive cash prizes, and works are marked with ribbons after the awards ceremony, which takes place shortly after the opening reception begins.
In addition to the awards chosen from the guest juror, Brynna Bat, manager of the SF gallery, and an assistant, will choose one piece for their “Gallery Choice” award.
The Santa Fe College Art Gallery is open throughout the year from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday.
