2015 Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition to Open in Lord Hall Gallery

The University of Maine Department of Art will present the 2015 annual Juried Student Art Exhibition that features work by current studio art, art history and art education students.

The exhibition will be on display from April 3 to May 1 in the Lord Hall Gallery on campus. The venue provides the opportunity for undergraduate students at all levels to exhibit their work.

This year, more than 90 works of art were selected from over 300 submissions in a range of media. Paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, collages and design, as well as sculptures and ceramic works are included in the exhibition.

The exhibition was juried by Julie Horn, visual arts director of the Maine Arts Commission, and Department of Art faculty Laurie Hicks and James Linehan.

During the April 3 opening reception, approximately 40 awards and recognitions will be given in studio, art history and art education areas. Awards, in the form of scholarships and travel grants, as well as book and exhibition awards, will be presented to students who have excelled in their work. The campus community, family and friends are welcome to attend the opening from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The exhibition is free and open to the public. Lord Hall Gallery is open from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday through Friday and is wheelchair accessible.
