The purpose of the PCC Sylvania Juried Student Art Exhibition is to showcase the artwork that results from a combination of outstanding students, and exceptional instruction. The work for the show is selected by an individual (or a panel) that is not a member of PCC’s faculty. The “Juried” show is an educational opportunity for art students who have not yet experienced this common art show practice, as well as a mark of prestige for students who are selected to participate.
