For the 2nd Annual exhibition, a committee of four jurors selected 24 of the 68 submitted artworks for the exhibition at ArtHaus. Student artists from three states, representing six colleges and universities in the region, submitted sculpture, pottery, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, jewelry and mixed media works.

The title of "Best in Show" was awarded to Zoe Klosterboer, receiving an upcoming solo show with the ArtHaus this spring. Her three works, (Embodied 1, Embodied 2, and Embodied 3) show intricate hand-cut designs on paper.
