This year, 14 ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ College of Art and Design Illustration students were selected for the exhibition, and one student was awarded a scholarship.
The exhibition will be on view at the museum from May 8-June 8, 2024, with a reception and awards ceremony on May 10. The show will also be accompanied by a catalog.
The exhibition will include Illustration majors Stephanie Bravo, Brian Hoffman, Stephanie Hunton, Paige Kidkul, Gray Lovette, Ricardo Perez, Aleena Raja, Nico Roper, Elena May binti Saini Jeffery, Xioanny Santiago Ortiz, scholarship winner Damian Villegas, Xiaoliang Wang, Maddy Williams-Solberg, and Ursala Yang. Villegas won the prize for the Win, Lose, and Draw category.
