Guyot had to review 196 works submitted by 67 VSU students, said Julie Bowland, VSU fine arts gallery director. Guyot selected 53 works for inclusion in the exhibit.
She also named first- through fourth-place winners and selected five Binders Art Supplies merit awards, Bowland said. The awards will be announced during the opening reception.
“The participating student artists exhibit a wonderful range of diverse media, styles and artistic outlooks in this annual showcase of emerging talent,” Bowland said. “Interior design, graphic illustration, photography, drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media and fiber art are all included in this exciting multi-media exhibition. This is one of the most eagerly awaited exhibitions as any and all VSU students are eligible to compete and show their art.”
Guyot graduated with her bachelor of fine arts in ceramics from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1994 and her master of fine arts in studio art from Florida State University in 2008, Bowland said. “She founded a community-building ceramic-lending project called Take Out Project in 2012.” She is a full-time studio artist.
