Works in this exhibition feature BHSU seniors who are graduating either in May or December of 2024 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree or a Bachelor of Science Education Degree in Art-Teaching. The exhibition will feature a variety of mediums, techniques, and concentrations as each student is responsible for creating their visual narratives through their work. Some of these techniques include ceramics, photography, painting, textiles, and screen printing. The class of 2024 Fine Arts and Art Education majors are emerging artists and creative leaders who are excited to exhibit their capstone pieces at the Dahl Arts Center.

Desy Schoenewies, professor at BHSU reflects on the artistic talent coming out of BHSU, “Over the years, we have witnessed our students' remarkable growth in creativity, ingenuity, and artistic proficiency. Through our rigorous curriculum, mentorship, and access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, students have been empowered to push the boundaries of their creativity and explore new artistic horizons.” She says, “The BHSU fine art student exhibition stands as a proof to their commitment to their craft and their endless potential as artists.”
 
This exhibit is sponsored by BHSU College of Liberal Arts Fund, Michael Baum and Desy Schoenewies, the BHSU Photography program, and the South Dakota Arts Council with funds from the State of South Dakota, through the Department of Tourism, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
