From the Stark Museum of Art:
“The first annual College Juried Art Exhibition is now on view in the Community Art Gallery at the Stark Museum of Art. The inaugural exhibition features original works of art from students enrolled at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, and McNeese State University, in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Selection for the exhibition included the opportunity to be considered for one of three awards sponsored by Blick Art Materials. Awards were selected by the exhibition’s juror. This year’s Best of Show award was presented to Madison Poindexter from McNeese State University. The juror commented that Poindexter’s charcoal drawing “Reaching For…” was impressive work that was beautifully rendered and composed. The Best of Show award included a $300 Blick Art Materials Gift Certificate.
Two Honorable Mentions were also awarded. Anna Alamond, McNeese State University, received an Honorable Mention for her untitled painting. The juror noted that this work was charming and that Alamond had masterfully made the painting relatable while leaving room for interpretation by the viewer. Chloe Thompson, Lamar University, received an Honorable Mention for her untitled pen and ink drawing. The juror commented on Thompson’s impressive command of perspective and space. Each Honorable Mention recipient received a $100 Blick Art Materials Gift Certificate.
