The University of Montevallo is proud to present the Montevallo Invitational, a summer exhibition celebrating artistic excellence within our regional high schools. Please join us for the opening reception in the Poole Art Gallery, on Saturday, May 9th, from 2-4 pm. This showcase brings together a diverse collection of works from student award winners alongside the mentors who guide them. By exhibiting students and teachers side-by-side, we celebrate the collaborative spirit of the arts and the vital relationship between instructor and emerging artist.

The works on view were selected through a competition held on campus this spring and represent award recipients across eight categories: Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, New Media, Mixed Media, Sculpture, and Ceramics. In each category, one first place winner and one honorable mention were selected. Teachers of award‑winning students were invited to exhibit their work alongside their students, creating a dialogue between instruction and practice.

Congratulations to the class of 2026! Be proud of what you have achieved here and never stop creating 🎨🧑‍🎨🥳🎓
