Begun in 1947 by C. Kermit Ewing, founder of The University of Tennessee School of Art, the annual student exhibition has become one of the oldest competitions in the country and one of the highlights of the Ewing Gallery's exhibition season. This competition has been an outlet for UT's talented students for 65 years, wherein countless works of art of every form and medium have been displayed and applauded by The University and Knoxville community.

This year's jurors are Amy Koch, an assistant professor of Art History at Towson University; Karen Shaw, New York artist and curator for the Islip Art Museum and Carriage House; and Kenneth White, graphic designer and recruiter for web design.

Both Kenneth White and Karen Shaw will be lecturing on Tuesday March 6th. Kenneth White's lecture will be at 4pm in room 109 and Karen Shaw's lecture begins at 7pm in room 109.
Both lectures are open to the public. We hope to see you there.

The monthly art exhibit by the Art Guild at Fairfield Glade beginning March 3 is a colorful collection of “Abstract” art.

This exhibition of sleek, vibrant, hip color schemes moves us into a brighter, more playful display. The good old days were filled with recess, eating glue, and scribbling with rainbow-colored crayons. And while your drawings might not have been masterpieces, you can re-capture the fun, by looking for the creatively-named colors of your childhood in the art exhibition.

Inspiration for this art work comes from the dedication of these artists, and it is worth a look for lots of neat and different kinds of displays. All items displayed can be viewed or purchased at the Plateau Creative Arts Center, 451 Lakeview Drive (off Peavine).
