The Student Art Exhibit at the Lory Student Center is the longest running exhibit on the Colorado State University campus. The call for this exhibit was open to all Graduate and Undergraduate students, but only the finest art was chosen. Out of the 202 pieces submitted a mere 32 were selected.

The Jurors

Amy Bradley

Being one of the founders of the Downtown Artery, Amy has played a chief role as the Director of Operations since the Artery’s birth. Amy earned her BFA from Colorado State University in 2012 with an emphasis in printmaking. She has turned her focus to screen printing and is currently in the process of establishing her own retail line called Peculiar Press LLC. In her free time, Amy bites her nails, draws weird faces and appendages, and drinks a lot of coffee.

Avalon Clare

Avalon Clare received her BFA in Illustration from the University of the Arts in 2008. She refers to her vibrant portraits of humans and animals as “digital drawings” because her process involves traditional pencil drawing on paper before being finished with digital line and color in Adobe Illustrator. Avalon is a Fort Collins native who lived in Philadelphia for 10 years, and she is very excited to be a part of the community of artists at the Downtown Artery. She is inspired by feminism, Lisa Frank, horses, bright colors, Patrick Nagel, animal print, interpersonal relationships, and strong women.
