Prairie View A&M University is proud to present the third annual Black History Month Juried Art Exhibition Opening Reception, tonight at 6 p.m. in the John B. Coleman Library First Floor Art Gallery. Student artists were encouraged to submit artwork encompassing the University’s theme, “The Awakening: “Know who you are before they have to tell you.” Cash prizes in the amounts of $500, $1,500, $2,000 and $2,500 will be awarded to the winners. Submissions of the following mediums were accepted: painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, photography, and video.
Painter, sculptor and educator, Anthony Suber, will serve as the 2018 juror.
