Annual Student Art Exhibition


Annual Student Art Exhibition 

Each year IADT hosts an Annual Student Art Exhibition. This year we will have a Reception on opening night (May 23rd) from 4pm - 7pm to show off the art to our students, faculty and staff. Additionally, employers and industry professionals from various fields are invited to attend allowing for an amazing networking opportunity for both students who enter and students who simply attend the reception. 


This year entries are due by May 18th and the art will be displayed on May 23rd and 24th. Judges, consisting of the campus faculty, will vote for their favorites, and winners will be crowned in each department. Additionally, a Presidents Favorite will be chosen by our President, Jason Smith.
