Annual University Honors Program Art Exhibit

The Honors Art Exhibition is another way to showcase the many and varied talents of our most academically accomplished students. Each year University Honors students from all academic disciplines are invited to participate in a juried exhibition which celebrates student excellence in the visual arts. The exhibition runs from January to November in the gallery outside the University Honors Program offices, and includes approximately 30 works of art. Students whose work is chosen receive a credit at the bookstore and the “Best of Show” earns a scholarship award for the artist.
