26th Annual Juried
USF Student Exhibition

April 1 - May 6, 2002
USF Contemporary Art Museum

School Director's Statement
On behalf of the students, faculty and staff of the USF School of Art and Art History, welcome to the 26th Anniversary of the Student Art Exhibition. We send special thanks to the outstanding staff of the Contemporary Art Museum, our supportive community donors for the awards and to Jerry Saltz, juror of the exhibition.

For more than a quarter of a century this exhibition has showcased the freshest and most dynamic student artwork produced anywhere. This year's up and coming artists, like hundreds before them, will ultimately mark this event as a passage to the future. USF students have gone on to become leaders in the visual arts throughout the world.

Congratulations to all of the exhibitors; we are proud of your achievements and share the excitement of your future!

Director's Statement
The annual juried student exhibition is recognized as a significant opportunity for students to see their work in a professional environment. A principal aspect of the exhibition is to introduce to the public noteworthy new talents. Each year the juror–an artist, critic, or gallery/museum professional–makes a selection from the artworks submitted by undergraduate and graduate students.

Over the past 25 years that we have hosted the exhibition, we have been fortunate to have our students' artwork reviewed by many distinguished jurors who have selected the works and awarded the prizes. The list of past jurors includes: Marcia Tucker (1977), Roberta Smith (1988), the Guerilla Girls (1992), and the Art Guys (2000).

This year's juror, Jerry Saltz, is the art critic for The Village Voice in New York; a curator and writer; two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee; and a lecturer at Yale and Columbia University. We are fortunate to have his critical eye to review the creative output of our emerging artists.

I would like to thank members of the museum staff: Alexa Favata, for arranging for the juror; Don Fuller, for designing the invitation, banners and brochure; Tony Palms, for the installation; and Mandy Kalajian and Randy West for the reception. This year a special thanks goes to Devon Larsen and James Rodger for their efforts to organize the exhibition.

Each year, a group of loyal friends from the community, the School of Art and Art History and Graphicstudio, join the museum and support the students by contributing prize money. We are very appreciative of this support, as it adds to the vitality and excitement of the exhibition. Please note the names of the generous contributors listed in this brochure.

Congratulations to all the artists in the exhibition and to the award recipients.
