Art Expo
Art Expo is Appalachian’s annual juried student exhibition. The jurying process begins in February when the studios of Wey Hall are filled with artwork. Jurors, art faculty and students roam the building, reviewing work in different categories, looking for the pieces they judge to be the best. After the votes are tallied, the winning pieces appear in an exhibition in the Catherine J. Smith Gallery later that spring. The jurying and exhibition are open to all students currently enrolled in an Appalachian State University course for credit.
Numerous awards are given to exhibiting artists at a grand reception, including juror awards, monetary awards (for art majors only), merchandise prizes and purchase awards. The juror awards “Best in Show” to any art major in any category. Merchandise prizes donated by local businesses are awarded to any entrant in each category based on voting by faculty and students. Purchase Awards from the Appalachian Collection at Plemmons Student Union and Belk Library and Information Commons are available to any entrant in any category.
