SFCC student art exhibit opens April 19

SEDALIA—State Fair Community College’s student art exhibition will open April 19 in the Goddard Gallery of the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art on campus.

A public reception and awards ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The show will continue through May 13.

The annual student exhibition is open to all students taking studio art classes at the college. Each year about 50 students exhibit close to 100 artworks in a variety of media.

Although every student is guaranteed a spot in the show, an invited juror will designate works of high merit for public recognition. This year’s juror is Diana Moxon, executive director of the Columbia Art League. SFCC President Dr. Marsha Drennon also will purchase an artwork for the student art collection displayed on campus.

SFCC’s art department offers students pursuing associate degrees a major in studio art, including courses in drawing, design, painting, ceramics, fiber, watercolor, sculpture, and art history.

Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The museum is closed Mondays. Admission is free. For more information, call (660) 530-5888 or visit the Web site at www.daummuseum.org.
