31st Annual Juried Student Art Exhibiton
November 20- December 13, 2003

Professor Gelsy Verna, an Associate Professor of Painting, from the University of Wisconsin Madison, had the task of jurying this year's student exhibition. Professor Verna accomplised her job with skill and sensitivity in the face of a broad range of media and varying levels of expertise. Her juror's lecture, "Circles of Influence," which mapped the array of cultural and artistic artifacts that inform her work, was a fascinating and richly textured foray into how her Caribbean ancestry informs her syncretistic approach to art and art making, and ultimatly identity.

Professot Verna sees this grouping as a conversation--a little bit of something or a little bit of everything.
