The annual CSI Student Exhibition opens in the Herrett Center's Jean B. King Gallery on Tuesday, April 16. This juried show features artworks from current CSI students, and includes paintings, drawings, photography, ceramics, sculpture, and more.

Each spring, current CSI art students are invited to submit artwork to this annual juried event. The artwork is then reviewed by one or more art professionals from around the region, with that person (or persons) tasked with selecting a show from the hundreds of student submissions. This year's juror was Naomi Velasquez, associate professor of art at Idaho State University. Naomi selected approximately 100 works across a broad spectrum of media, from painting to printmaking. Naomi also handed out several juror's awards, with Best in Show going to student Mike Trabert for his photograph titled White Sands. 

Admission to the student art exhibit is free and the public is invited to attend. F  or more information about this exhibition, please contact Joey Heck or Milica Popovic.
