Student Juried Art Show

by Bailee McCarthy

Blackburn art students showcased their work between March 5 and March 20 in the recent Annual Student Exhibition. The artists that took part in the showcasing event were: Olivia Freese, Noah Daum, Michael Trout, John Hummer, Haley Biere, Veronica Lee, Olivia Mapes, Noelia Martinez-Voigt, Arianna Roach, Maverick Vancuren, Stefanie Everet, Katrina Jahn, Sammi Shawver, Sara Hyneman and Ryan Kachuba. There were a lot of interesting, intricate pieces, such as “Puzzle” by Olivia Mapes. There was also a unique, eye-catching one: “Odette,” based on Swan Lake Ballet by artist Stefanie Everett.

Professor Bob Huber was very excited for the showcase, as it exhibited the abilities and potential of future artists. He said that the Annual Student Exhibit was open to all students enrolled in art courses during the academic year 2017-2018. Huber added that “it is an opportunity to celebrate their work and to exchange ideas.” Some student exhibitors are taking an art class for a general education credit, their minor or their major. Huber explained, “Some students might have prepared for the exhibition specifically, others will submit work that was made within the context of their art course[s].”

At the conclusion of the Annual Student Exhibition opening night, awards were handed out to the exhibitors. Honorable Mentions included artist Stefanie Everett for “Odette” and artist Noelia Martinez-Vogt for “Untitled Anatomical Study.” Second place was awarded to artist Michael Troutt for his piece “Fungal Reaction.” First place was awarded to Haley Biere’s piece “Untitled.”
