North Santiam Hall blooms for annual art show



This year, 43 students submitted 115 different works of art to be judged by their peers. Sixteen different students received awards during the reception, which was held on the second level of the North Santiam Hall’s art gallery.
Claire Denning was awarded Best in Show for her charcoal drawing “The Hang Man.”
This year’s Presidents Purchase award went to Kayla West for her clay sculpture “Reef.”
“This art show gives students an opportunity to get real life experience displaying their work,” said Johnny Beaver.
Beaver won three different awards, including an award from Studio 262 in Corvallis.
Sarah Melcher won three different awards with her “Lips On Fire” piece.
“The whole [NSH building] was full of art!” said Melcher, adding that she would be entering again next year.

The exhibit will be running through June 6, so make sure to get down there and admire some beautiful art.
