The UH Libraries will host its 4th annual Student Art Exhibit in the M.D. Anderson Libraries’ red wing from February 18th through April 18th. This highly competitive exhibit is open to UH students of any classification and major. This year’s jury selected 35 works in various media. Artists represent all classifications from freshman to graduate students. Most are pursuing degrees within the School of Art, but a number of non-art majors were also selected, including students majoring in architecture, computer science, history, industrial design, mechanical engineering, and physics.
The exhibit opening will take place from 5:30-6:30 on the third floor of the M.D. Anderson Libraries’ red wing Friday, February 18th. This event is free and open to the public.
