The Undergraduate College Student Exhibition is right around the corner and we want to make sure that everyone knows all about it!

Each year, KCAC invites undergraduate students from both Kansas and Missouri to participate in this juried exhibition. We are happy to announce that this year's juror is Sonie Joi Ruffin - Visiting Curator of the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. 

The student exhibition encourages undergraduate students to participate in a gallery show in Kansas City and compete for the Leigh Rosenberg Earnest Memorial Fund Scholarship which is awarded to up to four of the most outstanding participants as judged by our juror.

Don't forget the deadlines for the Student Show are fast approaching. Make sure to pass this information on to any and all eligible applicants.

Studio assistants are students who assist instructors and fellow students and are responsible for maintaining the school’s standards for studio operation. Assistants receive housing and meals, and pay only the $50 nonrefundable processing fee. Assistants are selected based on their knowledge of a working studio. In addition to 25–40 hours of work each week, studio assistants are required to work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on the day before and the day after their session, and must make travel arrangements which will allow them to meet this requirement. If you cannot meet this requirement, please do not apply. Many instructors select their own assistants; check the list below to determine availability of positions before applying.

To apply, check the studio assistant box on the application form, and include a letter explaining your experience in the field and your interest in the class, along with a résume, two letters of recommendation, five printed images of your work (maximum size 8-1/2 x 11, no slides or CDs), and the $50 processing fee. Applications must be received no later than February 15, and must include letters of reference. Applicants will be notified by April 1.

International students note: because the U.S. government considers our studio assistant program to be work for hire, students who are not U.S. citizens may not receive studio assistantships unless they have a work permit.

On September 15th the Garden City Art gallery in Garden City, Kansas will open the show “Ad Astra per Academia”, a collection of student work to display the talent of art students at KU and K-State. The gallery is looking for a wide variety of different art forms, both 2D and 3D. We want the KU art and design programs to be well represented at the show, so students of all disciplines are highly encouraged to submit their work! 

To submit your work, send small jpeg files to me at: katherineandrews@ku.edu no later than August 31st. I will notify you within a couple of days if your work has been accepted. Please have the selected works ready to be presented and delivered to me by September 7th. After collecting all the work, I will deliver it to the gallery. Students will be notified when the show is over and I return the work to KU. 

Note: Garden City is quite a way from Lawrence, so special care will have to be taken to safely transport the artwork. Extremely fragile pieces are not recommended. Please inform me when you submit your jpeg files if your art piece will require extra special care. 

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to viewing the submissions!
