Only one entry per student is allowed; traditional studio art or digital art are welcomed including photography.
"This is a great event for young aspiring artists to get involved with," explains Bryan Hahn, Runnels Gallery manager. "Young artists are given the opportunity to experience what a juried show is like, how it feels to have their work displayed in a professional gallery, and the experience of selling their work if they so choose."
Submissions to the exhibition will be juried (evaluated and selected) by a panel of ENMU faculty and administration members. Submissions chosen for inclusion in the exhibition will be featured in the Runnels Gallery within the ENMU Golden Library from March 13-30.
