This year, it was noisy. The space was filled with conversations and people connecting over art.“This is the first student art exhibit that feels like we’re back,” said Grant Hottle, art department chair. “We have an astonishing level of work here. Our art faculty are great. We have an extraordinary group of students who work hard.”There were 150 submissions of student work for this year’s show; 65 pieces were chosen, said Archer Gallery Director Kendra Larson. Students created their work in the past year. Their art professors curated the work.“The strength and breath of this artwork reflects the hard work, dedication, and unique voices of our amazing Clark Students,” said Larson. “It was a fun celebration of all the art students and their hard work.”Artwork will be on display from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday until the closing reception on June 9.Awards prizes were provided by Blick Art Materials, Georgies Ceramics and Clay, Gamblin Paint, Clay Art Center, PICA, McClain’s Printmaking, Collage, ProPhoto Supply, and Blue Moon Camera and Machine.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4QYs0y_0mFRqYgP00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4QYs0y_0mFRqYgP00" width="1275" height="919" ></figure><h2>Award Winners</h2>The awards juror was Prudence Roberts, writer, curator, and art historian.
