The second annual National Juried Cup Show is currently on exhibit through May 11 in the Fred J. Taylor Library and Technology Center Gallery. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
 

   According to Scott Lykens, assistant professor of art, the annual exhibition of ceramic vessels is designed to showcase ceramic artists from across the nation with their interpretation of the concept of “cup.”
           

   This year’s juror, Matt Long, an assistant professor of art at the University of Mississippi, accepted 44 cups out of 212 entries.  He has been a practicing ceramic artist for 22 years and works primarily with salt-fired bottles.
         

   “This exhibition is a unique opportunity for our students and community to see what is happening in the field of ceramics nationally,” said Lykens.
