We are excited to announce the call for our Faculty Exhibition! The exhibition is an opportunity to show Art Center students, patrons, and the Indianapolis community you’re most recent and exciting work. This is an excellent way to recruit students and we highly encourage your participation. 

Jurors will choose artworks for the exhibition from each adult division and works will be juried against other works in the same division.

JURYING

The Adult Divisions are juried and competitive. The number chosen for display is limited. Depending on the volume of applications, anticipate a maximum of two pieces per adult artist to be accepted for exhibit. 

Jurors are asked to consider design skills, technical elements, presentation and expressive/imaginative/conceptual content of artwork.

For 3D work- Consider uploading video documentation to better give jurors a sense of your sculpture in the round. 

Jurors will keep a balanced show in mind, but are not required to select a specific quota in each division or medium.

Jurors will determine award winners. Award winners will be notified by email following the Awards Ceremony.

The juror for the Adult Division of the 85th annual Student Show Is Dr. Peter Wang. 

As Lecturer of Art History, Dr. Peter Wang is the founding coordinator for the Art History Major/Minor at Butler University, where he specializes in Modern and Contemporary art, history of photography, American art and visual culture.

Dr. Wang holds a Ph.D. from Tyler School of Art, Temple University with a dissertation entitled The Profane and Profound: American Road Photography from 1930 to the Present. He received his M.A. in Art Studies from National Central University, and a B.F.A. from National Kaohsiung Normal University, both in Taiwan.

Dr. Wang’s primary research examines the enduring marriage between photography and the American road trip, including photographs by Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank, and Stephen Shore, among others. He is currently transforming his dissertation into a book manuscript and a series of journal articles while expanding this genre study on aspects of road experiences of women, minorities, and foreigners.
