The MTSU Department of Art and Student Art Alliance (SAA) announce the first joint exhibition to feature the juried work of MTSU students.
The SAA is an organization with membership made up of art majors and interested students. Its mission is organizing events that promote the making and understanding of art’s role in our academic culture and our community at large.
Participation is open to all Department of Art majors, SAA members and interested MTSU students.
Brent Oglesbee, chair, Department of Art, Western Kentucky University at Bowling Green, will serve as the awards juror. Oglesbee is greatly involved in the arts teaching sculpture, foundations and art appreciation.
“This show gives MTSU students the opportunity to engage in the process of submitting and showing their work in a public space, as well as competing with other artists for awards,” said SAA faculty advisor John Donovan. “This process is an essential component to the professional practice of being an artist and is a valuable experience for our students.”
The exhibit will be on display in the Todd Art Gallery from Sept. 22–Oct. 1 with a reception and awards ceremony the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 24. The event is free and the public is welcome.
