There is a campus-wide student art show on the Clarkston campus each spring for art majors. If you meet the requirements, you are strongly encouraged to submit work to this forthcoming exhibition. Opportunities like the Dunwoody Student Art Show and other student shows provide exposure for your art as well as practice presenting your work professionally – this is of great benefit to artists who wish to build a portfolio for transfer!
Thank you to everyone from the Art Club who helped with the reception and exhibition as a whole, and especially to both Pat Ziebart and Tamika Barnes for their contributions as both facilitators and jurors for the show.
All works not picked up on Friday, November 18th, are currently being stored in the closet near the elevators in the LRC (library) near the gallery area. Students may request to pick up work at the front desk or help desk. All works not picked up by the end of the day, December 16th, 2016, risk being discarded. Please email Ms. Levacy <mlevacy@gsu.edu> if you need to make alternative arrangements or need to pick up an award.
