The 32nd Annual Albert Young Art Exhibition and Competition will be on display from Thursday, May 9 through Sunday, May 12 in the Ford Center for the Fine Arts, Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois. More than $2,000 in prizes will be awarded in ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.
David Cohen, an art critic and curator, will judge entries in the show. Cohen is exhibition curator for the New York Studio School and has written articles for magazines including Modern Painters, Sculpture Magazine and Art News. He will give a free, public lecture, "Resistance as a Tool for Criticism and Creativity," at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 9 in the Round Room, Ford Center for the Fine Arts.
The show consists of works created in Knox art classes during the current academic year. Each first prize work becomes part of the Knox College Alumni Art Collection.
The competition is made possible through gifts from the family of the late Albert C. Young, which support awards in ceramics, drawing, painting and prints. Additional awards in prints, drawing and sculpture are supported by gifts from Beverly Bender, Marie Maltby Gunther and the estate of James A. Campbell.
