The Bakersfield College Wylie and May Louise Art Gallery is hosting the 2026 Student
Art Exhibit which officially opened this week. This annual event features a diverse
collection of artwork by BC students, highlighting their creativity and exceptional
talent. There were hundreds of submissions, and each piece included in the exhibit
was reviewed and selected by a panel of jurors.
The exhibit features pieces presented in a variety of mediums, including photography,
cardboard, yarn, video, acrylic paint, ceramics, and many more. Each student’s individual
creativity and artistic viewpoint contribute to a captivating experience for attendees.
The exhibit opened this week, and on Thursday, the gallery hosted an opening reception
which gave attendees an opportunity to preview the art, meet several of the artists
and enjoy some light refreshments.
The 2026 BC Student Art Exhibit will be on display in the Jones Art Gallery until
April 30th during regular gallery hours (Monday-Thursday, 2:00PM-5:00PM) and is free and open to the public. Please come and enjoy the beautiful artwork created
by some of BC’s most talented artists.
