HISTORY
The first Emerging Artists' Exhibition debuted in 2011. A committee of four jurors selected 28 of the 86 submitted artworks for the exhibition at ArtHaus. Student artists from three states, representing six colleges and universities, submitted sculpture, pottery, paper/fiber work, painting, drawing, printmaking, jewelry and mixed media artworks.
Participating jurors were Preston Lawing (printmaker and owner of Blackwatch Graphics Studio and Chair of the Dept. of Art and Design at St. Mary's University in Winona); John Snyder (painter and printmaker with a studio just outside Decorah); Dr. Kate Elliot (photographer and Assistant Professor of Art History at Luther College;) Ben Moore (painter and Assistant Professor of Art at Luther College, and board member of the Driftless Art Collective).
The title of "Best in Show" came down to Hannah Kosgard and Emily Temte. Kosgard was awarded "Best in Show," but because she is currently studying abroad, Temte's work was selected for the Emerging Artist Solo Exhibition on Friday, February 3, 2012, from 7-9. This Luther College junior's compelling style of drawing will feature fifty new works on paper in an exhibition entitled "Fifty."
Honorable Mentions were given to Cassandra Deiters of Upper Iowa University and Hannah McCargar of Luther College.
