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.   
 

The Graduating B.F.A. Exhibition is the opportunity for students to share the original and innovative discoveries they have made in their artistic journeys, communicating to the public their creative expressions of human experience. Students in the Department of Art work closely with nationally and internationally known faculty engaged in a broad range of art and design practices.
 

Participants in the exhibition include Lauren Barrett, Jamie Beasley, Olivia Carpenter, Amaya Carter, Lilly Fairall, Dakota Flatlet, Alinda Handte, Richard Kritz, Asia Mahon, Juan Marin, Gianna Memo, Ronnie Owens, Delaney Pallo, Annetta Sanders, and Sarah Sharber.
