Earlier this fall, the museum opened a call for students of all majors enrolled in colleges and universities in Orange and Jefferson Counties in Texas, as well as Calcasieu Parish in Louisiana. This year’s winners include 15 students from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas and McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana. See the full list of selected students below.
Taylor Balsano, “Untitled.”
Taylor Balsano was awarded Best of Show for her painting, Untitled, which depicts a bear set against a wallpaper-like background featuring a flat pattern. A press release noted that the unnamed juror “praised the piece’s compelling contrast between nature and humanity.” Ms. Balsano received a $500 gift certificate for Blick Art Materials. Additionally, Nelly Gonzalez Chan and Angela de la Rosa received Honorable Mentions.
The College Juried Art Exhibition is on view now through December 20.
