The Annual Student Art & Design Exhibition
April 23, 2020
For many students in the Art and Design Programs, the capstone event each academic year is the annual juried exhibition. It is an opportunity for students participate in the professional practice of preparing work for exhibition, navigating entry requirements, and, since this is a juried show, waiting for notification of selection.
The show this year is a virtual one, and will be displayed on the gallery’s Instagram page: @grimshawgudewiczartgallery and on our website: bristolcc.edu/gallery. We’ve also decided to let the students self-select two works for the show.
The exhibition opens on April 23 and will continue throughout the rest of the semester.
Traditionally, the postcard image for the show is designed by our work-study intern. This year, Brianna Hickey developed a narrative inspired by the Hidden Pictures drawings that appear in every issue of Highlights magazine. Her drawing of a young woman daydreaming in her room is a poignant reminder about the creative spark. Brianna could not have anticipated that we would all soon be working from home, in isolation, as a way to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. Her image is reassuring during this unsettled time. It reminds us all that creativity and imagination are boundless.
