April 6 - May 9, 2010
Since 1974, the Student Annual has been one of our most popular and well-attended exhibitions, featuring a wide range of media. Artworks submitted and displayed reflect the changing concerns and trends of the art world at large. Open to all Illinois State University students—not exclusively art majors—the Student Annual provides a forum for students to submit their work for review by professional artists, designers, critics, and curators. It also provides our community an excellent opportunity to evaluate and enjoy numerous artworks by students attending Illinois State. An opening reception on April 6 from 5 to 7 pm will include an awards ceremony and scholarship announcements.
The exhibition awards, sponsored by individuals, groups, and businesses in the community, reward students monetarily and professionally via selection by visiting jurors. The juror for studio work is Jason Lazarus, an artist and Instructor in Photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Columbia College, Chicago. The juror for graphic design is Bradley DiCharry, Assistant Professor at University of Iowa and freelance designer for Widgets and Stone, Chattanooga, TN.
The Marshall Dulaney Pitcher award, endowed in 1970 by the family of Marshall Pitcher, honors MFA student Trew Schriefer.
