“The fine artworks are in the mediums of painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, digital art and photography,” said David Prochaska, Cuesta College fine arts instructor. “This exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain recognition for their work and get a taste of professional exhibition practices and procedures.”
The student works were juried by Sara Frantz, Cal Poly assistant professor of fine arts/drawing. This year, there were more than 120 art work submissions by over 70 students.
