Robinson will exhibit his painting "Scarabaeidae-JapSinophobia" and Schultz will exhibit his print "Freedom Pass." They are among only 51 finalists chosen statewide.

Finalists will exhibit their work from May 5 to June 21 at Oakton Community College's Koehnline Museum of Art in Des Plaines. This is the first time that UIS students have been represented in the contest. Read more>>
