2022 Student Annual

University Galleries of Illinois State University is pleased to present the 2022 Student Annual from April 14 through May 8, 2022. All current Illinois State University students are eligible to participate in this juried exhibition.

See the list of artworks which were selected for awards here.

Exhibition

Since 1974, the Student Annual has showcased new artwork produced by students at Illinois State University. This exhibition has offered many students the first opportunity to have their work reviewed by professionals outside the University.

The Wonsook Kim School of Art is pleased to present the 2022 Marshall Dulaney Pitcher Award to MFA student Japheth Asiedu-Kwarteng. This award honors outstanding students in the visual arts who demonstrate exceptional artistic talent, dedicated studio practice, and academic excellence. 2022 marks the 52nd anniversary of this prestigious award, which was established by the Pitcher family in memory of painting student Marshall Pitcher. University Galleries has traditionally dedicated exhibition space within the Student Annual to winners of the Marshall Dulaney Pitcher Award and works by Asiedu-Kwarteng will be on display at University Galleries.

Judges

This year's studio judge is Tempestt Hazel, a curator, writer, and co-founder of Sixty Inches From Center, a Chicago-based arts publication and archiving initiative that has promoted and preserved the practices of artists across the Midwest since 2010. She's also still smiling about the fact that she was the 2019 recipient of the J.Franklin Jameson Archival Advocacy Award from the Society of American Archivists. You can read her writing, explore her curatorial projects, and learn about her love of archives by visiting her website at tempestthazel.com.

This year's design judge is Lisa Elzey Mercer, a designer, educator, and researcher. Her interests are in developing and executing design interventions that fuel and sustain responsible design for social impact. The developed frameworks and tools are intended to create a space for conversation and knowledge exchange where participants can collaborate in creating new ideas and solutions. This type of methodology is evidenced in her current projects focused on the topics of human trafficking, incarceration, race, and racism. She co-developed the framework Racism Untaught with Terresa Moses, University of Minnesota. Elzey Mercer is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design and Design for Responsible Innovation in the School of Art and Design, College of Fine and Applied Arts (FAA), at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
