Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art hosts online exhibition 鈥楯uried 2020鈥�
The Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art (BFSDoArt) is hosting its annual juried student exhibitions this spring, but for the first time they will appear online. The second of three exhibitions, 鈥淯ndergraduate Juried 2020,鈥� features student work from students enrolled in BFSDoArt undergraduate classes at any level. The exhibition is available to view online through April 24. Typically hosted in the Contemporary Gallery on the Statesboro Campus, the COVID-19 pandemic changed exhibition plans.
鈥淭his is one of my favorite exhibitions of the school year,鈥� said gallery director Jason Hoelscher. 鈥淔rom graphic design and painting to small metals, photography, ceramics, sculpture, digital projects and more, the spectrum of work on display perfectly showcases the dynamic range of approaches we explore here at the BFSDoArt. The students have really stepped up with their 鈥楢-game鈥� this year. Despite this semester鈥檚 strange circumstances, our online exhibition gives a great feel of the creative intensity and drive our students possess.鈥�
This exhibition was juried by Sheila Stewart-Leach, art consultant, curator and former head curator at the Averitt Center for the Arts in Statesboro.
The exhibit features works from 21 students including AnnaBrooke Greene, who was awarded best in show for her piece, 鈥淕herri.鈥� Tommy McMillan received Best 2D for his painting 鈥淛oker,鈥� and Rachel Forehand was awarded best 3D for 鈥淎vispero.鈥�
