The University of Southern Indiana’s Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition is a presentation of selected student artworks from the past academic year, held at the McCutchan Art Center / Pace Galleries in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. The works are chosen by an expert in the field of art, invited by the Art and Design faculty for their expertise and understanding of undergraduate art works.

This independent juror is brought in to assure an objective selection of artworks and awards, and to provide an educational experience for students in preparation for professional careers in art.  Our juror this year is Cintia Segovia Figueroa. This year’s exhibition features 101 artworks chosen by the juror from 218 entries. The exhibitions includes sixty-nine artists. 

This exhibition will be displayed in the galleries from November 4 through December 06. The MAC/PACE, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and open on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
