“If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.” - Michelangelo

Take the opportunity to come see the latest artworks from the creative minds of CMU Art & Design students in this year’s annual juried student exhibition. Art & Design students are encouraged to explore techniques, to push the boundaries of their mediums, and to develop their own voice within the artwork. The professors in the Art & Design Department are nationally and internationally respected artists and strive to push the students to achieve their educational goals and pursue their art careers. The CMU Fine Arts program fosters the ongoing development and education of degree-seeking students with art as their primary focus. Mediums will include drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, graphic design, film, animation, and photography.

This year’s juror is Paul Tholl. Tholl is an art educator at Grand Mesa Middle School. Tholl states, "The forms that I create are influenced by industrial and man-made objects from the mid-20th century, and the surfaces are influenced by the inevitable decomposition that time and nature have imposed on them. This weathering and wearing down brings these objects to life, tells their story of time passed by, and celebrates the natural world that will slowly take them back."
