Kayla Skurski has been selected as a featured artist in the Miami University Art Museum 2020 Student Response Exhibition! Skurski is a freshman architecture major with arts management and entrepreneurship minors. She is from Bay Village, Ohio and wants to pursue a career in architecture. She chose to come to Miami because it felt like home and she loved the architecture studios.
Her featuring artwork, Priori vs. Posteriori, was inspired by a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Skurski’s favorite field of art is painting and sculpture. In her free time, Skurski likes to hang out with her friends, swim, and make art.
This year’s SRE topic was Circling ‘Round, where students thought about what a circle meant to them and how they might interpret it in art. Nearly 100 submissions were received. 32 works by 58 students were chosen to be featured in the Spring 2020 exhibition. As a juried exhibition, all works were selected through a formal process by a committee.
The exhibition will open Tuesday, January 28 and will remain through alumni weekend, closing on June 13. Voting will be open until April 11, 2020. There will be an artist celebration and award ceremony held on April 14, 2020, from 6 to 8 PM where three works will be awarded prizes totaling over $800. The awards are sponsored by the Art Museum Membership Association.
Come see Kayla Skurski’s artwork along with the rest of the student response exhibition, Circling ‘Round, at the Miami University Art Museum!
