Read more about artwork selection
You may select up to 3 students with one artwork each to be part of the exhibit. You may save work from this current academic year, or wait until the students create new work in the fall. Even artwork created independently by your “star” students during “safer at home” orders is eligible; it’s up to you!
Student artwork may be photographed and used for future Art Party promotional purposes, like the poster you have now!
Select 1-2 faculty members’ pieces to include. This may be you and/or one of your colleagues. We hope folks take turns.
