DEVRIES GALLERY

Please note: The Student Art Show is free and open to the public during regular gallery hours, which are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays.

Kellogg Community College will exhibit nearly 140 works of art created by 60 student artists as part of the College’s annual Student Art Show running through May 2 on campus in Battle Creek.

The exhibit, which opened April 16, is on display in the Eleanor R. and Robert A. DeVries Gallery in KCC’s Davidson Visual and Performing Arts Center, on campus at 450 North Ave. in Battle Creek. Art from the show can be viewed following the awards ceremony (see details below) online at rosep9.wixsite.com/kccstudentartexhibit. 

The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular gallery hours, which are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays.

An awards ceremony highlighting select artists and works from the exhibit will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 25, at the Davidson Center to recognize student artists. That event is also free and open to the public.

Every spring, KCC Art, Photography and Multimedia and Graphic Design program students from the current academic year are invited to submit up to four entries for consideration for Student Art Exhibition awards. Media categories include:

> 2D Fine Art (drawing, painting, printmaking and 2D mixed media)
> 3D Fine Art (ceramics, sculpture, and 3D mixed media)
> Digital Design (digital illustration and graphic design)
> Photography (alternative print processes, black and white, digital, and digital composite)
> Time-Based Digital Media (animation and video)

A faculty committee reviews and organizes all submissions and the bulk of the work is juried independently by an art professional chosen from outside of the College. The juror selects the major media category awards and honorable mentions, with cash prizes made possible through a generous donation made to the KCC Foundation by artist Kimiko Petersen and her husband Sherman Petersen.

This year’s juror is sculptor and KCC alumnus Brian Nelson, a professor at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Art & Design whose work has been exhibited widely across the U.S. Nelson’s sculptures “16 Years (Paroxetine)” and “Zoloft (There Is Something About the Weather)” were displayed on KCC’s North Avenue campus from 2022 through 2024 as part of the College’s fourth annual Biennial Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition.
