Drake University’s Anderson Gallery will celebrate the 39th Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition with an opening reception and awards ceremony on Sunday, March 7.
The reception will be held in the Anderson Gallery from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with an awards presentation at noon in the lobby of the Harmon Fine Arts Center, 25th Street and Carpenter Avenue. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.

This year, 79 works were submitted for consideration. Jill Featherstone, museum education director of the Des Moines Art Center, selected 23 for the exhibition.
