Art school With spring in full effect and the end of the semester winding down, Chico State is blooming with fresh student artwork. There are four end-of-the-school-year juried group exhibitions on campus right night now. The Janet Turner Print Museum (first floor of Meriam Library) has Ink & Clay, its annual student print and clay exhibition; in the 3rd Floor Art Gallery (in Bell Memorial Union) is the Art Education Show; and the University Art Gallery (100 Trinity Hall) is showing the big 60th Annual Student Art Show, which spills over into another mini-show, The Salon de Refusés (featuring works not chosen for the UAG exhibit), at the Laxson Fine Art Gallery (second floor, Laxson Auditorium).

Here’s Arts DEVO’s best of show:
