According to Michigan Tech Professor of Art Mary Ann Beckwith, "This year’s show offers a stunning array of art work from throughout the region, varied enough to find something to please every viewer."
This annual juried exhibition showcases recent work by artists in multiple categories including oil, watercolor, acrylic, drawing, printmaking, photography, woodworking, fiber arts, ceramics, multi-media and more! With a long tradition of shining the spotlight on regional artists, the Great Lakes Showcase welcomes the community to enjoy its own artist richness in Michigan Tech's Rozsa Center.
Over $2000 worth of awards will be given this year to honor outstanding work in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional categories. The three top prizes are being sponsored by the Michigan Technological University President, Provost, and Dean. This year’s juror is Dr. Stephen Perkins, Curator of Art at the Lawton Gallery, University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. As always, the show includes a Community Favorite Award voted on by gallery visitors.
