“The pieces vary to show the variety of diverse programs and levels of our students, so there intermediate, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students featured,” said Michelle St.Vrain, interim director of the University Art Galleries. “The pieces on display include printmaking, photography, mixed media, ceramics, painting, drawings and installations.”

The 2015 Best in Show, “Feminine Attempt #1,” an oil on canvas painting by Klaire Pearson, and other artwork created by USD students will be on display at the exhibition and available to the public for purchase. “This is our most popular exhibition so we anticipate a great amount of traffic," St. Vrain said.

The display is named after Wilber Stilwell, former chair and professor, his wife Gladys and their family who all still support the exhibit. Stilwell came to USD after obtaining his master’s degree from the University of Iowa in 1941. During his time at USD he was a faculty member of the Department of Art for 32 years and department chair for 26 years.

While attending USD, Schuh received his bachelor of fine arts degree and then obtained his master of fine arts degree from Indiana University. He will speak on his artwork in the Warren M. Lee Center for Fine Arts in room 172 at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27.

The John A. Day Gallery at the Warren M. Lee Center for Fine Arts is free of charge to the public and will be open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
