Juried Student Exhibition

The Juried Student Exhibition is an annual opportunity open to undergraduate majors and minors as well as graduate students currently enrolled in the School of Art & Design at West Virginia University. Jurying is a multi-tiered process that starts with a committee of Art & Design faculty who select the pieces to be included in the show from the applications. Then jurors from WVU and the region select the exhibition’s award winners. More than $5000 will be awarded with a Best in Show award of $700.
