The exhibition will be in the Clark Garden portion of UDBG, in front of Townsend Hall.

It features work by University of Delaware students and this year will be expanded to include artwork by students and faculty from Towson University.

Jurors for the exhibition are Victoria Eastburn and Steve Ruszkowski of the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts.

A special reception, including an award ceremony, will be held from 4-6 p.m., Thursday, May 7.

“For nine years the Art in the Garden exhibition has graced the Clark Garden during the spring,” said David Meyer, assistant professor of art. “This is a collaboration between University of Delaware students and the UD Botanic Gardens Friends group. It is a unique opportunity for students to showcase their artwork to the community in a natural setting.”
