The School of Art at Ball State University is hosting its 91st Annual Student Art Exhibition at the Ned and Gloria Griner Art Gallery. This competitive juried show features a diverse range of media and styles produced by the university's student artists. The event includes a reception and awards ceremony on February 21, 2026, to honor outstanding student achievements.
This long-running annual tradition highlights the importance of academic galleries in fostering emerging talent and providing students with professional exhibition experience. By inviting an external professional juror—in this case, curator and alumnus Kyle Herrington—the institution connects its student body with the broader contemporary art world and established curatorial standards.
