Art Expo 2010 at ASU Through April 14
Reception April 9
ASU presents Art Expo 2010, an annual juried student exhibition. The exhibition opened March 23 and continues through Wednesday, April 14, at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery.
A reception will take place on Friday, April 9, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The award ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. with Art Department Chair Mike Grady and Art Expo Committee Chair John Stephenson announcing award winners and scholarship recipients. The event is free and open to the public.
Talented musicians from the Hayes School of Music will perform throughout the afternoon.
The 71 works included in Art Expo 2010 were selected from more than 700 entries of artwork that were on display during an open house in Wey Hall on February 19. Guest jurors Banister Pope, Bill Brown and David Tisdale selected the artworks from the following categories: clay, digital imaging, drawing, fibers, graphic design, interactive design, metalsmithing, motion graphics, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.
Faculty and students voted for their favorite work in each category to determine the winners of merchant prizes. John Stephenson, an assistant professor in the Department of Art, chaired this annual event. Stephenson said, “I am pleased with the works selected by the jurors for Art Expo 2010. The creativity in student works in all media reflects the energy witnessed in our studios and classrooms this year, and we look forward to the exhibition in the Catherine J. Smith Gallery.”
Student volunteers along with the Art Expo Committee and Catherine J. Smith Gallery staff made this event possible. In addition, ASU alumni Emily Combs and Ben Wesemann contributed design, organizational and installation expertise to the project.

Smith Gallery features a wide range of artworks by the following ASU students: Corinne Adams, Nicola Mousa Bajalia II, Rachel Ballard, Jaclyn Bowie, Andrew Brown, Casey Buchanan, Cara Bunch, Kristen Clark, Allison Cody, Brandon Crockett, Callie Cullum, Jaime Curlin, Jacob Daniels, Anthony P.
