Bay College announces an exhibition, The Celebration of Student Success by students enrolled in the Fall 2025 art courses.
Bay College is excited to announce the reception for the Student Art Exhibition that celebrates the success of our art students at Bay College! We look forward to this exhibition at the end of each semester. Student work will be displayed in the Besse Gallery from December 4 through January 2026. The Opening reception and awards ceremony is Thursday, December 4 at 2 p.m. Eastern. This is an opportunity to meet the artists and engage in conversations about their work.
The exhibition represents a culmination of a semester of work for these students. The exhibit will include digital cinema videos, drawing, and sculpture. The students use a variety of media to produce compelling works as they learn to create unified pieces that effectively communicate their ideas and expertise.
The exhibited works originated from the following art classes – Digital Cinema, Drawing I & II, and Introduction to Art Design. This is a juried art show in which one artwork per course will be purchased and become part of Bay’s Permanent Art Collection. Second and third place winners will receive monetary awards.
Join us in the celebration of our talented students! We invite friends, family, and the community to celebrate their success. The exhibition will be on view December 4 through January 2026.
