The Student Annual jury also selects the recipients of the Stella and Sumner Cooper Award (for work in metals, glass and ceramics) and the Will and Elena Barnet Award (for work that "embodies the formal elements of painting and composition and the principles of structural design").
Also included in the Annual are winning works by the recipients of the prestigious Dana Pond Award in painting, the Boit Award (for work created last summer independently of classroom assignments) and the Yousuf Karsh Prize in photography, each chosen by independent juries.
The Student Annual Exhibition celebrates artists who are on the threshold of their field with exciting anticipation of their creative futures.

- Visiting Artist Lecture: Kurt Kauper
12:30PM - 1:30PM
Riley Seminar Room
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Kurt Kauper uses painterly realism to underline the artificiality of the images he constructs. From his gorgeously clothed, fictional Divas - women who are fictions and exist only within the work, to his images of naked Cary Grant lounging around a beach house, to his heroic images of nude hockey players, Kauper's work toys with our perceptions of reality. By meticulously heightening painting's realism, Kauper's work weirdly and delightfully veers unexpectedly into surrealism. Kurt lives and works in New York.
