According to the Eastern Michigan University Galleries website, the exhibition “is designed to celebrate the creative accomplishments of emerging undergraduate art majors in the region, and showcase the diverse approaches to art making found within neighboring institutions in Michigan and Ohio.” The show helps student artists to prepare for the next stages of their careers, whether that means higher education or entering the workforce.
