Student Juried Art + Design Exhibition

Opening Reception: 6 p.m. on March 18

A staple of the academic experience for Art and Design students at YHC, the Annual Student Juried Art + Design Exhibition allows students to submit their art and design work to be juried by a professional artist. An independent guest juror will choose select pieces that make the final exhibition. Accepted students gain professional experience by learning how to navigate the "call for entries" process, prepare works for professional gallery display, and add the juried show to their artistic resumes.

The Annual Student Juried Art + Design Exhibition showcases, awards, and celebrates all creative achievements of the art and graphic design major and minor students as well as non-majors who have taken an art course at Young Harris College. The juried exhibition offers six categories for submission: Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media/ Printmaking, Graphic Design/Illustration, Photography/Video, and 3D Sculpture/ Ceramics/Installation. A third-party juror awards first, second, and third place and Honorable Mention in each category along with the overall “Best of Show” award. Other awards include the President’s Award, Beauty Can Change the World Award sponsored by YHC Religious Life and the YHC Art Department Awards which include the Richard Aunspaugh and the Birdie Bryan Miller Art Awards, and the Innovative Design Award.
