The 51st Annual Juried UW Student Exhibition is taking place, featuring works selected by juror Lindsay Metivier, a photographer, educator, curator, and gallerist based in Carrboro, North Carolina. Metivier holds degrees from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and UNC Chapel Hill, and has operated Aviary Gallery in Boston and Peel Gallery + Photo Lab in Carrboro.
This exhibition matters because it provides a platform for University of Wyoming student artists to showcase their work in a juried context, offering professional validation and exposure. The involvement of an experienced juror like Metivier, who has exhibited widely and run galleries, adds credibility and connects students to broader art-world networks.
