42nd Annual Juried Student Exhibition

Each year, the Art Museum of the University of Memphis (AMUM) hosts its Juried Student Exhibition, which celebrates outstanding University of Memphis students from the Art and Design department. The exhibition provides students with an opportunity to gain professional experience as an artist/designer by preparing work for exhibition and submitting it to a jury process. The jurying process had some exciting changes happen this year. After many years of the it being facilitated online, it was transferred to being in person. This year, Rose Smith, who is the photography curator at the Brooks Museum, was selected to choose the artworks featured in the 2025 show. This exhibition will be on display from February 8th - March 21st.
