“It’s really about highlighting the current work that students are producing,” said Nicholas Waguespack, gallery manager of Gallery 217.

The exhibit is open to students of all majors and minors. Various artworks are accepted, such as graphic design, studio art, sculptures and paintings.

“The amount of people that participate fluctuates between the years, but last year, we had over 100 pieces featured. Quite a few students participate,” said Waguespack.

The artwork submitted will be juried by Ariella Wolens, the Bryant-Taylor curator at the NSU Art Museum. Students can come to the reception on March 22 to see the winners announced.

The students in the exhibit can win prizes, including an honorable mention by the department, a faculty choice award and a purchase award, allowing faculty to purchase the artwork chosen to become part of the gallery collection.
