The FGCU Art Galleries have closed for the remainder of the season. However, there is some great news coming out of the Wasmer Art Gallery.
They have prepared an electronic publication showcasing the work in the 22nd Annual Student Juried Exhibition which is available on the gallery’s website. The exhibit was originally scheduled to open March 20 and run through April 2.
Florida Gulf Coast University students working in sculpture, drawing, digital media, printmaking, painting and ceramics submit their finest works for this annual juried exhibition. Up to 70 works of art, demonstrating students’ accomplishments and experiments, are featured. The jurors for the exhibition were area arts professionals and included Julie Gerhard, Renee Ray and Melissa Minds VandeBurgt.
The exhibit catalog will stay up continually (online), but all unsold work will be returned to students after April 2, says Anica Sturdivant, assistant curator, the Art Galleries of Florida Gulf Coast University.
