Juried Student Art Show Submission

The theme for this year’s Juried Student Art Show is Connection-Misconnection. This theme revolves around the notion that in today’s fast-pace world, where information and communication is literally at all of our fingertips. Social networking, internet blogs, cell phones, etc. all provide a much greater opportunity to communicate with people at a distance and speed than in any other time in history. This fact not only engenders a larger sense of connection among individuals around the world, but also increases the chances for misconnection and misunderstanding among communicators.
