The Student Union art exhibition started in the spring 2003 semester as an effort to display and promote student visual art on campus.聽The exhibition is an opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and talent to the 麻豆原创 community.
All current 麻豆原创 students are eligible to submit their art work to be judged by an impartial juror in the art field. Collaborative works or group projects are also acceptable as long as each artist involved is a 麻豆原创 student. There are no restrictions as to discipline of study or major and all students are encouraged to participate.
The artwork was judged in four Student Government Association scholarship categories: 1st place: $1,000, 2nd place: $750, 3rd place: $500 and two honorable mentions: $125 each.
The following students were awarded:
1st Place = Masami Koshikawa: 鈥淕randma鈥�
2nd Place = Jean Paul Gomez: 鈥淓mancipated 4鈥�
3rd Place = Nannette Cherry: 鈥淪elf Portrait鈥�
2 Honorable Mentions = Marshall Tindall: 鈥淯ntitled,鈥� Christine Comple: 鈥淐ena Trimalchioris鈥�
鈥淲e definitely hope to continue this scholarship opportunity as it not only showcases our students work, but it definitely creates a sense of community,鈥� said Willis Chico, community outreach coordinator for the Student Union.
Traditionally the exhibit has been held on the second floor at the Student Union but this year 鈥渨e wanted to give it a different feel,鈥� said Chico. 鈥淚t truly brings the entire space to life. It鈥檚 almost magnetic really. Whenever someone walking by the Pegasus Ballroom notices the art they almost can鈥檛 help stopping for a minute to look at it.鈥�
The Student Union is in the Division of Student Development and Enrollment Services. The next art exhibit hasn鈥檛 been scheduled but information will be available through the Student Union webstite at: .
