Harford Community College's Annual Juried Student Art and Design Exhibition will run from May 6-29 at the Dr. James & Lynne LaCalle Chesapeake Gallery in the Chesapeake Welcome Center. An opening reception featuring a juror's talk is scheduled for May 7 from 5-6:30 p.m., followed by the Salon de Refuses in Joppa Hall. This year's guest juror is Matthew Moore, director of education and interpretation at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, who selected the exhibited works from student submissions.
This exhibition highlights the college's commitment to showcasing emerging student talent and providing a professional gallery experience. The inclusion of a Salon de Refuses offers a broader platform for student creativity, while the involvement of a museum professional as juror connects students to the wider regional art community, reinforcing the importance of arts education and local cultural engagement.
