2019 Student Juried Show
@ Ralph Arnold Gallery
1131 W Sheridan Rd, Chicago, IL 60660
Opening Thursday, January 31st, from 5PM - 7PM
On view through Friday, February 15th
For over twenty years the Annual Student Juried Show has showcased the best student work being created at Loyola. Students from all majors have been invited to submit artwork created in the last year for consideration by this year’s jurors, Kristen Abhalter Smith and Nathan Abhalter Smith. From a strong pool of submissions, the jurors have selected the most outstanding works based on their level of originality, thoughtfulness, and skill. The best of these submissions are represented in this exhibition, and the most exceptional artworks will be honored during the opening reception with first, second and third prizes. Our students bring a variety of talents and ideas to this exhibition: visitors can expect to see painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, ceramics, sculpture, graphic design, and interesting combinations thereof. The Student Juried Show gives Loyolans the opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional gallery as part of an exhibition that celebrates the creativity and talent on our campus.
