10th Annual Student Art Exhibition & Awards Competition

April 16 - May 13 at the LH Horton Jr. Gallery

(Stockton, CA)

Delta Center for the Arts LH Horton Jr. Gallery presents the 10th Annual Student Exhibition & Art Awards Competition, April 16 through May 13.  The opening reception is planned for Thursday, April 16th from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

 

This exhibit features the work of currently enrolled Delta College students. The annual juried exhibition is open to students of all disciplines, campus wide. The visual arts faculty juries the exhibition, and issues awards based on technical proficiency, creativity, and the potential for growth within the visual arts. The Awards Competition provides an opportunity for Studio Arts Majors to receive recognition and scholarship funding. Students competing for an award submit a body of work and address their creative goals through a written statement.

 

The LH Horton Jr. Gallery is a non-profit organization and a premier exhibition space in the city of Stockton. The primary mission of the Gallery is to promote quality and culturally diverse artwork in support of our students’ education and the community at large.

 

The Gallery offers excellent exhibition opportunities to local, regional, and national artists, lenders and guest curators. The Gallery presents artists’ work in all media, with no thematic or geographic restrictions. Student Exhibitions are held at the end of Spring Semester. Artists’ work is selected through submission of exhibition proposals, juried by the Gallery Committee. Located in the Central Valley near Sacramento and San Francisco, the Gallery features over 2000 square feet of exhibition space, and a 21-foot extended ceiling with hanging mounts and professional lighting. 

 

The Gallery is located on the ground floor of Shima Center, and is wheelchair accessible. Admission is free and open to the public. Recommended parking is available in the Shima lot for a nominal fee. Tours are welcome, and Gallery Talks and special needs may be addressed by contacting the Gallery.
