In the past the art show has had a wide variety of objects from all the artistic disciplines, Steve Musselman, assistant director of Student Center Craft Shop, said. Judges can expect to see anything from intricate woodcarvings, blacksmithing items, silk screenings and paintings.

Judges from the Associate Art Gallery, the School of Art and Design and the Cinema and Photography Department will judge the pieces and select 30 pieces to be displayed in Art Alley.

Dunkel said that the top three winners out of the exhibits will be chosen and awarded prizes.

The first-place prize is a $200 award from the School of Art and Design and a $100 gift certificate from University Bookstore. Second place receives a $100 gift certificate from the Department of Cinema and Photography and a $75 gift certificate from University Bookstore. Third place is a $75 award from SPC Visual Arts and a $50 gift certificate from University Bookstore.

Artists submitting works should pick up identification cards for their work at the Student Programming Council Office on the third floor of the Student Center, the School of Art and Design, the Student Center Craft Shop and the Department of Cinema and Photography. All artists must return to the student center between 6 and 7 p.m. to see if their work has been chosen for the show.

The winners will be announced, and the awards will be given at the reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Art Alley of the Student Center.
