Saturday, March 4, CC students will have a unique opportunity to showcase their creativity at the third annual Student Art Show, sponsored by the President\u2019s Council.<\/p>\n

With more than 100 pieces on display, this is the largest student-run event of the year. While planning for the event is a team effort, Jaxon Rickel and Jake Walden, both fellows in the Office of the President, and six CC students are the primary organizers for this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Caitlin Taber \u201917, who has been involved in the Student Art Show since its inception, says the initial goals were to provide \u201cthe opportunity beyond art courses for students to show their work to the CC and the Colorado Springs communities,\u201d and to \u201cgive artists a chance to gain experience selling their work in a\u00a0gallery-like setting.\u201d Both of these goals have been met, and the show has grown significantly since it started. This year\u2019s show will be the largest ever, and has more art than the past two years combined.<\/p>\n

According to Walden, the art on display is enormously varied. Given its growth, the exhibit will \u201cvery likely be the largest display of student art and expression ever at Colorado College, with over 100 pieces of art by over three dozen artists,\u201d Walden says. Paintings, photography, sculpture, pottery, textiles, dance, improv performance, jazz, and movie screenings will all be on display.<\/p>\n

Walden says that while some of the artists are studio art majors, for many of the artists, it\u2019s just a hobby. Hanna Bautz \u201917 is new to the Student Art Show, and says she\u2019s thrilled to be able to \u201cdabble in the arts and gain an enriching interdisciplinary perspective outside of the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibit will take place on Saturday, March 4<\/strong>, 6-10 p.m. in Cornerstone Arts Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
