From a UW press release:
The University of Wyoming Art Museum will present the 34th annual Juried UW Student Exhibition beginning with the opening reception at 6 p.m. and announcement of awards at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30.
The exhibition will be on view at the UW Art Museum through Feb. 14. Jennifer Garner, assistant professor, director, and curator of the Center for Visual Arts, Metropolitan State College of Denver, is the juror.
“This exhibition is a highlight of the museum’s exhibition program every year,” says Susan Moldenhauer, UW Art Museum director and chief curator. “In addition to providing a professional art exhibition experience, the exhibition celebrates the creative expression of UW’s students.”
The exhibition is open to anyone enrolled during the 2008-2009 academic year. Students whose artwork is selected are eligible for cash and purchase awards.
A gallery walk-through of the award-winning works is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 9, at 6:30 p.m.
Artwork that was not selected is on view in the Fine Arts Building UP Gallery in the annual Salon de Refuses. Organized by the Student Art League, the UP Gallery exhibition continues through Jan. 31.
The museum is located in the Centennial Complex at 2111 Willett Drive. The museum and store are open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
