NC, Offers Annual Student Show
Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, is presenting Art Expo 2008, an annual juried student exhibition. The exhibition is on view through Apr. 19, 2008, at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery.
The works included in Art Expo 2008 were selected from numerous entries of artwork that were on display during an open house in Wey Hall on Feb. 29, 2008.

Faculty and students also had the opportunity to vote for their favorite work in each category listed above to determine the winners of merchant prizes.
Students from the Arts Management Organization, National Art Educators Association, Student Art League, and American Institute of Graphic Arts have contributed time and manpower to the events. In addition, senior Graphic Design major Eric Cox created the design for the prospectus, poster, postcard and other publications.
