Top honors awarded at 2026 Hesston College juried student art exhibit

Hesston College announced the winners of its 2026 Juried Student Art Exhibit. Top honors went to Constance Feldt for her ceramic tile triptych "Tomorrow," Anna Franco for a graphite drawing, Elsa Rayneau for a watercolor, and Evelyn Gaertner for a stoneware teapot. The exhibit is on view through May 1 at the Regier-Friesen Gallery.

The event highlights the artistic output of students from all majors at a small liberal arts college and provides a professional benchmark for their work. The involvement of an external juror, ceramic artist and professor Zach Tate, offers students critique from outside their immediate academic circle and helps the art program identify broader trends in student creativity.
