Total of 11 pieces in Next Generation: University Art Competition

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Eleven artworks by seven Huntington University students have been accepted into the Next Generation: University Art Competition at the Honeywell Center in Wabash, Indiana. Morgan Harlan, Elizabeth Hon, Elizabeth Kruse, Kennedy Mitchem, Kate Potter, Taylor Whiteside and Maeve Wilkinson’s pieces were among the 60 selected works out of a field of 105 submissions.

According to the Honeywell Center, the University Art Competition showcases the talent and creativity of higher education students. This state-wide juried exhibit is open to students currently enrolled in higher education programs across Indiana.

“I am excited to celebrate our art students whose creative work was accepted into this statewide college art competition,” said Dr. Barb Michel, professor of art and chair of the Department of Art & Design. “Their achievements affirm their hard work and provide them a valuable opportunity to see their art showcased alongside other exceptional college art students from across the state. It is especially rewarding that their accepted pieces represent multiple areas, including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and mixed media, reflecting the strength and depth of our HU Department of Art & Design.”

A public reception for the exhibit will be held on Wednesday, January 21, at 5:30 p.m. at the Honeywell Center.
