Over the past year, artists within different media have worked with great effort at the chance to be chosen to have their art featured in the student art gallery showing. A group of faculty members, which included the chair, dean and vice president mutually agreed upon which students would receive the honor to be in the art show, and they also decided the award winners.

Natalie Hall, a General Studies student, received the RiverHawk Award for her “Man and Dog” Conté crayon drawing.

Maggie Campbell received the Vice President Award for her ceramic piece “Mother.”

Carly Thompson, an art major, received the Dean Award for her “Lampara,” a functioning ceramic lamp.

Rachel Brady received the Chair Award for her “Still Life with Orange” acrylic painting.
