The Bob Owens Art Gallery and the Department of Visual Arts invites you to join our celebration for the 2025 Juried Alum Exhibition. A reception will be held in the Hoag Student Center Great Room on September 17 from 5:30 – 6:30 PM.
The 2025 juried alum exhibition is inspired by the idea of Treatment. Juried by UNG Alum Rachel Watson, "Treatment" invited artists to explore the layered meanings of intervention, care, and transformation—both in subject and in medium. The term spans a wide spectrum: from medical and psychological care to environmental restoration, to the complex systems of treatment embedded in social, political, and personal experience. Just as significantly, it includes the way artists physically treat their materials—through manipulation, process, degradation, preservation, or innovation. The Best in Show winner will receive a solo exhibition at the UNG Oconee Campus Art Gallery and serve as the 2026 juror for the annual BFA Juried Exhibition.
The 2025 juror was Rachel Watson, a contemporary artist currently living in North Carolina. She attended the University of North Georgia receiving a degree in studio art with a concentration in photography in 2014. She received an MFA from the University of Georgia in 2020. Currently she serves as the 2D Coordinator for the John C. Campbell Folk School and is the Founder and Executive Director of the Elf School of the Arts, an artist residency and venue in Hayesville, N.C.
