"This is the future of art, or so we hope," said Melissa Yungbluth, instructor of art and director of the Golding-Yang Gallery. "For most, if not all, this is the first chance these budding artists have to exhibit their work in a formal gallery. It's a small taste of what their futures could be, and we are honored to be the regionally chosen gallery for the inaugural displaying of their work."
Awards are given in each media:
The jurors for the exhibit are the faculty of MSU's School of Art & Design.
