Virginia State University Juried Exhibition

We’re proud to present the 2026 Student Juried Exhibition in collaboration with VSU’s College of Art & Design; featuring bold, thought-provoking work from emerging artists who are shaping the creative voice of our region.

These artists aren’t just students...they are part of the fabric of our local arts community, bringing fresh perspective, skill, and vision to the space we all share.
