TIME PERIOD OF WORK- This is a student exhibition, so all selections should set an example of superior work in form,
content, process and effort. All work must be created while an art student at COC within the last two (2) school years (between
FALL 2013 to SPRING 2015), no exceptions.

PRESENTATION- Students are required to learn to make a professional presentation, so poorly mounted or ill-framed works,
loose frames, wet paintings, frames missing their straps, screw eyes, or wires will not be hung. Anything that is not
professionally presented will not be hung.
3.
SIZE- Our goal is to try to accommodate a maximum of 70 to 80 works, so please use good judgment if size is an issue. We
want to include a variety of works and as many of them without creating a circus. This is not possible if grandstanding occurs.
Width limitations will be strictly enforced at 48 inches. Although we appreciate works in series (diptychs, triptychs, etc.),
keep in mind that we will adhere to the size limitation. Series in multiples over 48 inches will not be allowed.

JURY PROCESS- Works will be JURIED on May 6th or 7th . No students will be permitted in the gallery during the

College of the Canyons Student Art Collection
College of the Canyons will be selecting student artworks for a permanent collection on campus. Students are
encouraged to submit their best works for consideration during our annual COC student art exhibition in May/June

 Selected student artists will receive:
o A cash award of $ 250.00;
o A certificate indicating this award; and
o Inclusion in the District’s permanent collection.
The awards will be given during the Artist’s Reception and COC Foundation’s Annual Alumni & Friends Event,
Tuesday, May 19th, from 5:00 to 7:00pm.

The District will receive:
o Artworks for permanent display in district facilities
o A lasting, historic collection of artworks created by students at the college.

The students, community and the District will benefit from the lasting creation of good will and a historical
connection to the college.
Students interested in participating should create artworks that represent creative excellence, good craftsmanship and
originality. Two and three dimensional media will be considered. Guidelines will be the same as used for our annual COC
student exhibition. Details are available at the Art Gallery website: www.canyons.edu click on Art Gallery, click on COC
Student Art Collection. Please remember that, if selected, the artwork becomes the permanent property of College of
the Canyons. You will be called by the gallery staff only if your work was selected.
Once selected, the artworks will be framed, if needed, and put on display in the University Center. Upon selection of the
next year’s awards, these artworks will be relocated throughout campus facilities creating a cohesive record of visual
excellence by COC students.
