The winning art pieces from the 2012 Southwestern Community College Student Art Show will be exhibited at the Oconaluftee Institute for Cultural Arts until April 30 and at SCC for the remainder of the year.

Best of Show went to Jessica Gagne for her sculpture “Lochness Wear and Tear.” Honorable mentions went to Robert Beck Jr. for his letterpress-printed book “Robert’s Fish Tales,” Joy Hutcher for her ceramic “Cat Effigy,” and Carrie Atkinson for her book and sculpture titled “Uktena.”

Each of the four winners will have their artwork on display at the college during 2012 and will then be entered in the statewide community college art exhibition in Raleigh for 2013.
