A gallery talk / awards ceremony will be presented at the reception, including purchase awards and the Edward M. DesPlas CCBO International Outstanding Chief Business Officer Scholarship. As one of the requirements for the exhibition, each student artist was asked to compose an artist statement and resume. For most of them, this is their first experience at exhibiting in a professional gallery.
