57th annual USI Efroymson Family Fund Juried Student Art Show

The University of Southern Indiana annual Efroymson Family Fund Juried Student Art Exhibition, a presentation of selected student artworks from the past academic year, is being held from Wednesday, November 11 to Wednesday, December 9 at the McCutchan Art Center/Pace (MAC/Pace) Galleries, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. This year’s exhibition features 86 artworks chosen by the juror from 222 submitted entries.

The works are chosen by an expert in the field of art, invited by the Art and Design faculty for their expertise and understanding of undergraduate art works. This independent juror is brought in to ensure an objective selection of artworks and awards and to provide an educational experience for students in preparation for professional careers in art.

The Fall 2026 juror, Dr. Jason Swift, served as the Director of Exhibition Proposals, Curation and Grant Writing for artHARLEM in New York City and was a member of the Board of Curators for Visions in New York City: Short Films and Video. He is currently an Associate Professor and Director of Art Education at the University of West Georgia. In his studio and research practice, Swift investigates the influence of experiences upon the artist’s visual vocabulary.
