To commemorate three decades of creativity, innovation, and artistic expression, we\u2019d like to catch up with former students and exhibit their work alongside that of our current students. As a student who has taken an art class at WSU Vancouver, you are an alum of the art program, even if you did not minor or major in art. There are two ways to take part: being part of our <strong>Alumni Showcase<\/strong> or exhibiting a work of art in the <strong>30<span class=\"s1\">th <\/span>Annual Student Art Show<\/strong>. Or you can do both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alumni Showcase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As an art student, you helped shape the program and its legacy. Now we\u2019d like to share with the community how the experience of taking art classes helped shape you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Email a high-resolution photo of yourself showing what you are doing in life, now. (jpeg, approx. 3000 pixels on the longest side. Avoid selfies!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a few lines that explain what you are doing now and how art and art classes helped shape your thinking. The \u201cart\u201d here could be any obvious form of creation: a drawing, a garment, graphic design, a painting, a cake, a garden. It could also be a less obvious application of creative thinking, such as planning, problem solving, hand-eye coordination, attention to details, heightened power of observation, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Submit photo &amp; text <\/strong>to <a href=\"mailto:a.bawa@wsu.edu\"><strong><span class=\"s4\">a.bawa@wsu.edu <\/span><\/strong><\/a>by<strong> March 1, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">30th Annual Student Art Show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to being part of the Alumni Showcase, you are invited to submit a piece of art to be considered for this year\u2019s student show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Email a jpeg image of the art you\u2019d like to submit.
