An annual event for nearly forty years, 200rsStudentArtExhibitionwasjudged by William Willner and Sharon Hardin, the husband and wife team from North Carolina whose art shared the Gallery 303 spotlight a month ago. Richard Tichich, the chair of GSU's art department, explained his choice of Mr. Wilner and Ms. Hardin as an attempt to select jurors who have no personal relationships with any student here at Laura Cox GSU and, subsequently, are without bias.
