Just this last week there was a tremendous happening in our art and art history department building. There was a student art work driven and student juried competition up for all to see. There were first, second, and third place ribbons given to various types of artwork, from sculpture to painting to photography.

The special thing about this show is not only that all the work was submitted by Rollins' very own various art students, but also in turn judged by Rollins College students.

The entire event was a couple hours long, run by the students and professors of the art and art history departments. There was food and drink, talk of art, and musical performances throughout the night. Professor Larned, the photography teacher here at Rollins, was impressed with the turnout. "Go look at the different exhibits; there is plenty to do," Larned said.

First place was captured by Charles Pardee with his "Cowboy Tom's Texas Chopper" in sculpture, made with found objects. Second place was held by Tiffany Kuhn with a mixed media piece called "Anatomy # 2." And last but not least, with a great showing for all of our great photography students here at Rollins College, Yoselin Sosa placed third with "Purinayoma" in Sepia Digital Photography.

Many more exhibits here in the art department are to come. With the expansion of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum there can only be exhibits to anticipate.
