Marshall University's School of Art & Design is hosting its 14th Annual National Juried Exhibition, which will be open to the public until April 10 at the Charles W. & Norma C. Carroll Gallery. The exhibition features 30 works by 20 artists from across 13 states, showcasing a variety of artistic mediums and perspectives.

This year's exhibition was curated by Rebecca Ness, a painter based in Brooklyn known for her unique compositions and introspective portraits. Ness holds an MFA in painting and printmaking from the Yale School of Art and a BFA in painting from Boston University. Her work has been displayed both nationally and internationally.

"Showcasing a dynamic selection of contemporary works from across the country, the exhibition explores the many ways our bodies interact with our environments – often with a twist of humor and a reflection on labor and our relationship with technology," said Gallery Director Courtney Chapman.

The event will conclude with an awards reception on Thursday, April 10, from 6-8 p.m., where awards will be announced at 6:30 p.m. The reception will take place in the Carroll Gallery on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center at 927 Third Ave., Huntington. Light refreshments will be available.

The galleries are open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with free admission for all visitors. Additional information can be found at Marshall.edu/art-galleries or by contacting Marshall Galleries via email at galleries@marshall.edu.
