SF Announces 2024 Student Exhibition for Graphic Design
April 19, 2024
April 19, 2024 – The annual Santa Fe College Graphic Design Student Exhibition event, presented by SCAD Media, will be held Thursday, May 2, at 6 p.m. on the third floor of Building N on SF's Northwest Campus. SF's Fine Arts and Entertainment Technology department will host both the exhibition opening and the awards ceremony. Live music will be provided by Rayvon Purple Kloud Rollins.
This will be an evening of creativity where the work of our graphic design graduates is presented on multiple media displays. There will be themed photo areas, and let's not forget the interactive chalk walls! The 2024 Student Exhibition is not only a send-off for our 2024 grads, but also a full-on celebration of the graphic design creative community here in Gainesville and surrounding areas.
"Last year there was so much joy that filled the rooms during this event," Professor Shawna Mansfield said. "I cannot wait to have that happen again!"
A Showcase of Creativity
Submitted work for this juried exhibition is designed by graphic design students in the areas of communication design, advertising design and digital media.
