"Shadows of Sunset," painted by Hooker senior Priscilla Avalos, was chosen as the People's Choice winner in the 14th annual Northwestern Art Society Art Show. Her painting also won first in the Landscape/Nature painting category. This painting and all other pieces that won a ribbon in the campus art show will be on display in downtown Alva at the Runnymede Hotel for the First Friday Artwalk on April 7 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The 14th annual Northwestern Oklahoma State University Art Society (NAS) Art Show is rewarding 21 different students with prize money and ribbons this year along with 14 non-students earning ribbons.
All of the winning entries in the campus art show will be on display for a Winners Only Show in the Runnymede Hotel Friday, April 7, 6–8 p.m. for the First Friday Artwalk event that is free and open to the public.
On display will be 68 pieces created by Northwestern students and 54 pieces by current and retired Northwestern employees and alumni.
"This year's art show was fantastic," Angelia Case, NAS sponsor, said. "Thank you to everyone who participated this year. We hope to see even more of our students and non-students taking part next year. Believe it or not, only seven of the students who entered did not win something, and every one of the non-students entered won a ribbon. We hope that everyone will attend the winners' show at the Runnymede to see all the winning pieces and congratulate our artists."
During the show on campus, those who viewed the art in the J.W. Martin Library were able to vote for their favorite piece to help determine a People's Choice winner. Selected for that prize of a special ribbon and $50 is Priscilla Avalos, Hooker senior majoring in chemistry, for a landscape painting titled "Shadows of Sunset."
The two Best of Show winners will remain a secret until revealed at the winners' show at the Runnymede. The student winner will receive a special ribbon and $75 with the non-student receiving the special ribbon.
A list showing all winners from the campus show is available at http://www.nwosu.edu/nas-art-show-winners.
Artwork from the community show at the Runnymede may be picked up at the end of that show at 8 p.m. or from Fine Arts 211 on Monday, April 10, by 5:30 p.m. Pieces that did not win and have not been picked up also are available in Fine Arts 211.
