The new exhibit at the Rasmussen Art Gallery celebrates the many various talents of some of Pacific Union College’s creative student minds.

April 15 was the opening and awards presentation for the annual Student Art Exhibition in the gallery. Around 80 visitors, including students, faculty, and community members, came to cheer the student artists on. The show was open to all PUC students of any major, and many students had responded to the call for entries, resulting in 165 exhibited works.

Student artwork was judged under the categories Drawing, Opaque Media Painting, Watercolor, Graphic Design, Printmaking, Mixed Media, Stained Glass, Sculpture, and Ceramics. Visitors viewed the show while enjoying refreshments, including fresh fruit and Sparkling Martinelli’s, all the while talking with the students who had come to view their own success.

Various prizes were awarded for the different categories—$25 for first place, $20 for second, and $15 for third. There was also a $50 grand prize awarded for the emphasized environmental theme of PUC's Green Week.

The show will remain up in the gallery through May 4. Regular gallery hours are Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 1-5 pm. Admission is free and open to the public.
