The Student Art Show curator accepted mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, digital media, photography, graphic art, ceramics, sculpture, book art and mixed media.

"The students’ creativity is a strong asset at our college and in our community,” said WNC Fine Arts Professor Rachel Stiff. “I would like to highlight the professional level of the students’ work and thank ALL of the teachers at WNC who encourage and nurture their students’ creativity. Please visit this annual exhibition and support WNC's emerging artists!"
