Outstanding Student Awards 2024, Part 2 (of 3)
July 19, 2024
The winners of SDA’s Outstanding Student Awards were recently announced for the students who have demonstrated excellence in fiber arts. The work of these artists embodied inventive and innovative use of technique, materials and concepts not only in fibers and textiles, but in printmaking, sculpture, and more. It is an honor for the Education Committee to be able to see student work, review it, and learn more about the personal and societal issues they are tackling through their work. We will be spotlighting OSA students every Friday in July, please feel free to follow them and support their art practices. Congratulations to all 47 awardees!
