Missouri Western\u2019s art students had reason to celebrate as they held an open house to show off their pieces in Western\u2019s Juried Art<\/a> Show. An annual event, students submitted their works to be put on display in Potter Hall, as well as be judged by an outside artist. Community members were invited to the show to pass their own judgement, as well as enjoy refreshments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potter Art Gallery<\/a> Director Rebecca Foley<\/span> was on hand during the event, and was able to describe the process in which the students\u2019 pieces were chosen to be displayed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe give the students an opportunity to submit work that they are proud of to an outside juror, who is an art professional within the region,\u201d Foley said. \u201cThat juror selects work to be displayed here in the gallery, which is a professional opportunity for the students. The art department is really proud of our students and it\u2019s a great opportunity for us to showcase what they do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The juror also selected several students\u2019 art works to receive special honors at the event. While no scholarships were given out to students whose work received this special recognition, they did receive prizes.<\/span><\/p>\n

One such student was J.D. Soil, who had several pieces of artwork on display, including a painting that was selected to receive additional honors from the juror.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis piece to me represents my connection to my creativity and my spirituality,\u201d Soil said. \u201cI feel like those things work together and compliment each other. I love this piece, it\u2019s my favorite piece. I love that people see the beauty in it I see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Paintings were not the only things being displayed in the gallery. Artistic photos, award-winning graphics and even wine bottles were shown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelsey Trueblood, a junior studying Graphic Design, had a promotional poster she designed on display.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy art piece was made through Illustrator and it was supposed to be for the AIGA Conference<\/a>,\u201d Trueblood said. \u201cI\u2019m very proud to see it displayed; I\u2019ve never gotten anything in here, it\u2019s my first show, so it\u2019s pretty cool to see it come through and see my work be shown.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides being an opportunity for the students to show off their work to peers, the show was a good way to show friends and family members the fruits of the students\u2019 labor. In all, the show was a great chance for students to build their portfolio and exhibit their art while having a good time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
