HOLLAND — The annual juried student art show at Hope College will begin Nov. 30 and run through Dec. 18 in the gallery of the De Pree Art Center.

The public is invited and admission is free.

The competitive exhibition, open to all students at Hope, is an annual fixture in the De Pree gallery. All Hope College students were eligible to submit work in any media.

Each year, the department of art and art history invites a recognized artist or curator to judge the student work. This year's juror is Jimmy Kuehnle, who received an MFA in sculpture in 2006 from the University of Texas at San Antonio. In 2008, he researched public art and worked in the studio as a Fulbright Graduate Research Fellow and artist in Japan. This past summer, he was a resident artist at Atelje Stundars in Vaasa, Finland. He is currently the Philip C. Curtis Artist in Residence at Albion College.

The De Pree Art Center is located at 160 E. 12th St. It is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.; and Sundays from 1-5 p.m.
