Queensborough Community College Art Gallery held an opening reception for its 2026 Juried Student art exhibit on April 21. The annual show, which began in 2011, features between 87 and 100 works selected as the "best of the best" from students in the Art and Design Department, with the pieces remaining on view through May 29.
The event highlights the importance of institutional support for emerging artists at a formative stage. College President Christine Mangino emphasized the significance of students seeing their work professionally displayed, affirming their identity as artists and moving beyond classroom exercises to public recognition.
