About the Juror

Paige Prekker, UND Art & Design Alumna and Graphic Design Specialist at the UND College of Engineering and Mines, served as juror. Prekker organized work in the exhibition to highlight emotional responses to the pandemic.

The artwork she chose depicts feelings ranging from tranquility, to confusion and despair, to a sense of acceptance and hope for the future. “I was very impressed by the quality of artwork the students submitted,” Prekker stated.

The works are a powerful testament to students’ emotional response, and resilience, in the midst of the pandemic.Paige PrekkerUND Art & Design Alumna and Graphic Design Specialist at the UND College of Engineering and Mines

“Each artist clearly put a lot of time and thought into their artwork,” stated Nicole Derenne, Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Art & Design and Exhibition Coordinator. “I applaud all the students who submitted their artwork, and the students’ teachers and families who support these young artists.”

Exhibit Hours

Gallery hours are 11 a.m. – 4p.m at the Col. Eugene E. Myers Gallery in the Hughes Fine Arts Center through January 27, 2022. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

There will not be a reception due to the pandemic, but visitors are welcome in the gallery.
