The future is coming.
The Mississippi Collegiate Art Competition, the annual event that recognizes artistic achievement by students at four-year colleges and universities in Mississippi, is coming to the Meridian Museum of Art.
The awards reception will be at the museum
from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. March 20; awards will be announced at 2:30 p.m. Juror Glen F. Kaufman, University of Georgia professor of art, will announce the winners.
Awards will include Best of Show, three Awards of Excellence, and Juror's Awards in each media category of clay arts, computer imaging, design, drawing, fiber arts, metal arts, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture.
The exhibit features 80 works chosen by Kaufman from among 640 entries. The works were submitted for the competition by students representing nine schools from across the state.
To be eligible, participants must be four-year college and university students (undergraduate and graduate) currently enrolled in a degree-granting program in Mississippi.
Students are not required to be art majors. All submitted work must be created during the student's time of enrollment at the submitting school.
