GLENVILLE, WV—Winners of the eighth annual Glenville State College Juried Student Art Show have been announced. The show was open to any full time GSC student who wished to submit pieces of original art created during their college career. The show was judged by GSC Dean of Student Life and art professor Duane Chapman.

Brook Turner from Glenville, West Virginia won the Provost's Award (best in show honors) as well as second place. Sophomore studio art major Kyra Parke-Davison won first place and freshman studio art major Devon Dennis won third place. Both students are from Glenville, West Virginia.  Honorable mention went to senior studio art major Ryan Singleton from Burnsville, West Virginia. The Linda Abraham Memorial Award went to senior graphics & digital media major Jazmin Gordon from Saint Albans, West Virginia.

“This year's student art show was an excellent example of what working ‘outside of the box’ can produce. The student artwork shows that they are getting a fantastic base to experiment within their mediums and concepts to challenge themselves,” said Chapman. “It was a pleasure to be a part of this year's student show,” he added. Chapman is a tenured associate professor of art at GSC where he has worked since 1997. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from GSC and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Ohio University. His teaching has included both lecture and studio art instruction.

The student show will remain on display until Friday, April 17th.
