The Annual Juried Student Art & Design Exhibition is a yearly tradition featuring works by students enrolled in the Department of Art at Youngstown State University. It is an opportunity for students to gain the knowledge and experience of entering a show that is judged by an arts professional. Local businesses and individuals generously support this annual event and its talented artists by contributing cash awards and gift certificates. The exhibition takes place each spring semester and work can be submitted in the categories of ceramics, photography, printmaking, painting, drawing/illustration, sculpture, mixed media, digital media/video, and graphic + interactive design.
