Welcome to the 2021 University of Guam Undergraduate Exhibition!  This is an annual display that features the works of Fine Arts students.  This year, the virtual exhibition includes 108 two-dimensional and three-dimensional works created by 17 Fine Arts students.

 

Fine Arts faculty selected these students to receive the following best in show awards:

 

Hunter Orland            Best-in-Show for Environmental Art works

                                      and

                                      Best in 3D Design

​

Sydney Prudente               

Chie Collard                         

Anthony Gallego                

Stephanie Verroya       

Yenni Liao                          

Sarah Johnson                       

Akihisa Matsunaga                                       

Madison Orland                

Tonya McDaniel               

Roybert Bautista         

 

You will get to know these students through their artwork, artists’ statements, as well as the audio and video files throughout the website.  Students explain why they chose Fine Arts as a major, describe their experience as a student during the pandemic and, some of the best in show artists share details about their creative process. 

 

The pandemic pushed the Isla Center to feature virtual exhibitions in place of the displays in the gallery.  This is our fourth virtual exhibition* and we continue to explore and embrace this online platform.  Once again, I thank my Gallery Management and Exhibition Design class for their work and collaboration on the website.  Special thanks to Alecsandrew Gan, Margaret Espino, and Sydney Prudente for spending hours uploading, editing, and organizing sections of the exhibition.

 

I look forward to the day when I can greet visitors in the gallery and discuss the artwork in person.  Until then, please enjoy this virtual exhibition and meet some of the students in our Fine Arts program.  This exhibition will be online until June 30, 2021.
