REGISTER HERE for the Live Zoom Award Ceremony on May 13 at 5:30pm PST.

The current situation of COVID-19 has deeply impacted how our gallery programming normally progresses, including our standard execution of the student show. This year, we will be moving forward with a virtual student exhibition. The exhibition will be juried as usual and submissions will be entered digitally. The exhibition will be hosted on an online website and we will have a virtual ZOOM award ceremony. Students will submit a 15-30 second video artist statement, ideally in their home studio, that our generous Marketing department will help weave into a video that we will show during the awards ceremony. All students who submit will be included in the video, not just accepted students and award winners. This year's juror is Cate Trujillo, Exhibits and Campus Art Curator, Creative Works - Cal Poly.
