Additional Information

The University of Wyoming Art Museum is hosting a free gallery walkthrough featuring student award winners from the "46th Annual Juried UW Student Exhibition," Thursday, May 6, from 5:30 - 7 p.m.

We will offer both in-person and zoom options. For in-person attendees, please follow UW protocols with social distancing and mask-wearing. For Zoom attendees, please email the Art Museum (uwartmus@uwyo.edu) for the meeting passcode. Join us on Zoom here: https://uwyo.zoom.us/j/92974435751

The gallery walk-through is an opportunity to hear students discuss their artistic motivations such as what drives the content of their work and why specific artistic media were chosen, and to answer visitors’ questions. This opportunity helps students develop as professional artists and bolster public speaking skills.

The annual Juried UW Student Exhibition is open to any student enrolled at UW or any in-state student enrolled through UW distance courses during the current academic year. For the "46th Annual Juried UW Student Exhibition," 35 students submitted 100 works of art for review. Of those, 49 pieces were selected from 35 artists. During the virtual awards ceremony, college deans, the Art Museum National Advisory Board, businesses, individuals, Student Art League, and the juror presented 35 scholarship and purchase awards, cumulatively valued at over $12,000.
