The 2011-2012 Biennial Student Juried Exhibition continues through February 17

18 Jan 2012    

The Biennial Student Juried Exhibition, sponsored by Textiles, Clothing, and Design, is a competitive show that offers students valuable experience in designing fashion for show. The acceptance rate for the exhibition was 46%.

Guest juror Dr. Elizabeth "Missy" Bye, Professor and Department Head of Design, Housing and Apparel in the College of Design at the University of Minnesota, one of UNL's Big 10 associate institutions, closely examined each entry, completed a review form,  and provided written comments along with a numerical score for each submission. Work was presented anonymously and Bye did not know any details about the makers.

An opening reception was held on Friday, January 13, 2012 and prizes sponsored by the Friends of the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery were awarded to Abby Dames, Kendra Morgan and Erica Cardenas. Dames received Best in Show in the Wearables category for "Ombre," Morgan received Best in Show in the Non-Wearable category for "Color Blend Trio: Black and White," and Cardenas received an Honorable Mention for "Zipped."

Congratulations to all of the students and faculty whose efforts are on view in the gallery through February 17.
