Annual Juried Student Art Exhibit AMELIA DUAX Staff Writer
UNI’s Art Gallery was packed with students, parents and faculty members on Monday night in anticipation of seeing the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. This year’s exhibition began with an opening awards ceremony in the Kamerick Art Building, followed by a reception in the UNI Art Gallery. The pieces that earned awards were chosen by this year’s Juror, Jamal Currie. Currie is the Associate Professor of Fine Arts at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. One of Currie’s grandparents worked in the Art Department at UNI in the 1950’s and 60’s, and his grandmother gave the department a large endowment for the future. Multiple awards were given to students who had entered their works into the exhibition. The awards are as follows:
Who Won: Madelyn Stillman won the Design Alumni Merit Award. James Lange and Krayton Evenson both earned the Rod Library Purchase Award. Deo Rai earned the UNI Department of Communication Studies Merit Award. Eathan Bell and Katelyn Mary-Margaret earned the Harry and Rita Guillaume Award. Mackenzie Miller and Craig Johnson earned the Dr. Jeffrey Funderburk and Dr. Deedee Heistad Purchase Award. Heidi Schmidt earned the Harry K. Watts Scholarship Foundation for Graphic Design Students. Abby Krei earned the UNI Office of Vice President and Provost Purchase Award. Sean Berg earned the UNI College of Humanities, Arts, and Sciences Merit Award. Rylie Lawrence earned the UNI Public Art Incubator Award. Melodie Anstey earned the College Hill Arts Festival Merit Award. The Raymond
Performance Award went to Nicholas Blake, Anastasia Chloe, Taylor Hansen and Shannon Williams. There were also Merit Awards given to Hanna Seggerman, Jonathan Etringer and a group of art students involved in a fifteen-minute video performance. The students involved were Anastasia Chloe, Dylan Eigenberger, Shannon Liza Williams, Michelle Patrilla, Marcelina Weaver and Taylor Hansen. Students React: “I was excited! I mean, nobody ever expects that they are going to win,” Hansen said. “It took us all semester to plan and film, so it took lots of different people’s expertise. I did a lot of the editing, and other people did the planning and other elements of the project. It’s cool to see it all come together, and collaboratively we decided to put it into the Juried Student Art Exhibition.”

Given the national discussion on sexual assault sparked by the #MeToo movement, the UNI Philosophy Club invites students to join the discussion this Friday, March 23, from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at the Octopus College Hill during their “Pints, Profs and Philosophy” event. The event’s discussion topic is sexual ethics, including good sex and the ethics of consent. According to Ana Davis, Philosophy Club vice president, the topic allows for a broad range of discussion. She explains that Philosophy Club has questions to spark discussion and professors have talking points, but they encourage students to bring their own curiosity and ques-
tions to the table. The event is structured to allow for debate, discussion and questions. Associate Professor of political science Ana Kogl and Philosophy and World Religions Instructor Abbylyn Helgevold will speak together on topics like bad dates, sexual assault and the social ramifications of both. Most of the hour-long event will center around discussion, with an open forum included. Davis said that Philosophy Club members represent many unique perspectives, and this event is all about sharing those perspectives. “If you have something to give, like knowledge or an experience, others have something to gain,” Davis said.
