2009 Arts Scholars Juried Exhibition
Artists Reception


Arts Scholars Logo 2
Thursday, February 5th
5 to 7pm


The 2009 Arts Scholars Juried Exhibition features work from high-achieving students from all years of study who share a joint interest in the Arts, including music, visual arts, design, dance, and theatre. Students major in many areas across campus, including many non-Arts majors. This exhibition gives students an opportunity to experience the jurying process and the hanging and promoting of a professional show. Performers for the opening are also Arts Scholars, many of whom are music majors or plan to become professional musicians.



This reception is part of our after-work programing offered Thursday evenings. Before the reception stop by Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails and ask for the Urban Artists' Special: It's very special indeed and its only $3.
