Shepherd University Student Honors Exhibition

Prospectus

Phaze 2 Gallery and the Department of Contemporary Art and Theater of Shepherd University invite all Shepherd University students to participate in the 2021 Juried Student Honors Exhibition.  The submitted artwork will be juried by Jason Hackett to determine which pieces will be included in our summer long exhibition.  Accepted works and awards will be announced during the reception ceremony on April 22nd around 5PM.  Students whose work was accepted will have until April 28th to arrange hand delivery of artwork to Evan Boggess.   The exhibit will be installed after the Capstone exhibits are over in April, and the Student Juried Exhibition will be on display in the Phaze 2 Gallery throughout the entire summer into the fall.  An approximation of the exhibition in the physical gallery will on display with Exhibbit.com as a 3D virtual gallery.
