The MTSU Department of Art and Student Art Alliance (SAA) announce the third annual joint exhibition to feature the juried work of MTSU students.

The SAA is an organization with membership made up of art majors and interested students. Their mission is organizing events that promote the making and understanding of art’s role in our academic culture and our community at large.

Participation is open to all Department of Art majors, SAA members and interested MTSU students. Terry Thacker, former chair, Department of Fine Arts, Watkins College of Art & Design will serve as the awards' juror. Mr. Thacker is greatly involved in the arts as a painter, teacher, and public speaker, whose interest in the South is as a vernacular idiom in art. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Austin Peay State University and his Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville

“This show gives MTSU students the opportunity to engage in the process of submitting and showing their work in a public space, as well as competing with other artists for awards,” said SAA faculty advisor John Donovan. “This process is an essential component to the professional practice of being an artist and is a valuable experience for our students.”

The exhibit will be on display in MTSU’s Murphy Center G040 from October 24 to November 29 with a reception and awards ceremony in the Todd Art Gallery the evening of Thursday, October 27 from 6-8 p.m. Each event is free and the public is welcome.

The Todd Art Gallery’s regular hours are 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday – Friday, closing only on state & university holidays. For more information or directions, call Eric Snyder, Gallery Liaison at 898-5653.
