The School of Art at Bowling Green State University’s annual Undergraduate Art and Design Exhibition

Faculty selected the 230 pieces in 11 media categories for the exhibition from more than 400 entered, and

The opening reception and awards presentation will be Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.. The show continues through
Feb. 23. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday; 6-9 p.m. Thursdays; and 1-4 p.m. Sundays.

Preceding the reception will be an ARTalk "The Dream Is Real" by painter and BGSU alumna Amy
Ringholz, at 1 p.m. in 204 Fines Arts Center. Her talk will focus on her experiences after college and
22 lessons she learned throughout her journey, as well as her thoughts on being successful in the art
industry.
Ringholz earned her bachelor of fine arts degree in drawing from the School of Art. In 2012, she became
the youngest Featured Artist for the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, and the first woman to receive the
honor in 13 years.
As a way to encourage other artists, Ringholz launched The Ringholz Foundation, which awards financial
assistance to art students who display talent, hard work and heart. Two of these awards will be awarded
during the exhibition.
