L&C Student Art Exhibition Opens to Large Crowd

GODFREY – Lewis and Clark Community College’s 15^th Annual Student Art Exhibition opened April 12 to one of largest crowds ever seen at the event.

Out of 106 works in the exhibit, the prize for Best in Show ($250) went to Kaleigh Grace for her drawing, entitled “Timothee Chalamet.”

“I was completely taken aback by the award, but also elated,” Grace said. “I put a great deal of effort into my piece and to see that effort honored is incredibly rewarding.”

Second place ($125) went to Debra Welch for her photo entitled “MOJO.” Amber Miller was awarded third place ($75) for her drawing, “The Raven.”

Three students – Emily Linn, Trevor Ayres and Michelle Seitzinger – earned honorable mentions ($50 Dick Blick gift cards) for their work. Jeanne Meyer earned a special recognition award.

The Student Art Exhibition will be on display through April 26 in the Hatheway Cultural Center Gallery, located on L&C Godfrey Campus.
