What: Each year, Central Piedmont Community College’s Visual Arts Department hosts the Annual Juried Student Art Show, recognizing student works in ceramics, 2D and 3D design, drawing, jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture.

Students who have works featured in the show receive a variety of awards, ranging from the Presidential Purchase Award; Foundation Purchase Award; first, second, and third place awards; along with a variety of others. Each year, select student artwork is chosen for this celebratory exhibition to showcase our Visual Arts students’ work completed in their studio classes.

The juror for this year’s Student Show is Marge Loudon Moody.  Moody is a Professor Emerita of Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC where she taught for over 30 years. Widely exhibited both nationally and internationally Moody’s work exists in private and public collections worldwide. Currently, the Bill and Patty Gorelick Galleries at Levine Campus in Matthews host a selection of Moody’s work from her new exhibition ‘Intangible Worlds.’ ‘Intangible Words’ broadly investigates environments inspired by Moody’s travels and imaginations. Through the use of bright colors, abstract forms and continuous reworking of the composition, Moody creates the “essential” feeling of certain environments.
