The citation show is an opportunity to showcase high-quality art created by students in a professional environment while allowing the public to enjoy art created by their peers and colleagues. This year will be juried by Kansas City visual artist, printmaker, UCM alum Dustin Williams.

 

Art from a variety of mediums will be on display throughout the gallery.  Up to two exhibition-ready pieces were submitted by student artists, student interior designers, student graphic designers, and student animators throughout the first half of March before spring break. 

 

鈥淭his is one of my favorite exhibits of the year, it is always great to show studio and design work from students that have been working on their projects this past year,鈥� said Gallery Director Christian Cutler. 鈥淏ecause students are limited to only two projects, the show favors quality artwork over quantity.鈥�
