Annual Student Honors Exhibition 2024

The Art and Design Department of Fort Hays State University invites undergraduate Art and Design students to submit work for the annual Student Honors Exhibition 2024. All undergraduate students are eligible to enter recent work from the 2023-2024 academic year. Each student may enter up to four pieces of work in any medium. Motion graphic submissions must provide a laptop or iPad for gallery showing. There is no entry fee.

Work must be gallery-quality and properly framed under glass or plexiglass (paintings may have wrapped painted edges). Matted works without glass or plexiglass will not be accepted. Artwork to be traditionally hung must have a proper hanging device installed on the back. Alternative installation methods such as pinning, nailing, and magnets are available with approval from the Chair or Gallery Director. Students are responsible for getting their work properly matted and framed. Artwork must be brought into the gallery by Friday, March 22nd at 4:00 p.m.

Scholarships will be awarded to eligible students (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors with at least one semester remaining). Graduating seniors are not eligible for scholarships but may receive an Honorable Mention Award. Awards include twenty $200 Student Honors Scholarships and three $1,000 Fields Scholarships. Scholarship winners will be announced at 7:30 p.m. during the opening reception on Friday, March 29th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Winners do not need to be present but must accept the scholarship in myFHSU Workday after it is added to their account. The exhibition will be juried by Shin-hee Chin, Professor of the Visual Art Department at Tabor College.
