49th Annual Juried University of Wyoming Student Exhibition

February 24 - May 11, 2024

A highlight of the Art Museum’s exhibition program, the 49th Annual Juried University of Wyoming Student Exhibition presents the artwork from selected University of Wyoming students. Open to any student currently enrolled at UW, including in-state students in the  Distance Learning Program, the student exhibition provides a professional development opportunity for students to present their work in a museum setting.

This year’s exhibition will be organized around the theme of identity. We invite students to submit works exploring their sense of self or sense of community, broadly interpreted.

Works not selected for the museum exhibition will be presented in a Salon des Refusés, organized by the Student Art League.

This year's Juror: Joy L. Armstrong, Director and Curator of the Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA) at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs (UCCS)

Celebrate the opening of UWAM's Spring Exhibitions on February 24th, including a 100 year retrospective of the painter and UW alumni, Harold Garde, and an Awards Ceremony for the 49th Annual UW Student Juried Exhibition.

5PM • Reception with hors d’oeuvres and refreshments
6PM • Awards Ceremony
