Spring Art Competition

The Spring Art Competition, proudly sponsored by the Larry H. and Gail Miller Center for Entrepreneurship at SUU, is an open invitation to artists of all backgrounds and levels of experience. Each year, a unique and inspiring theme will be revealed, providing artists the opportunity to express their creativity in new and unexpected ways. Participants will be encouraged to explore their chosen theme while gaining valuable insights into how they might turn their passion into profits. Cash prizes will be awarded based on results from student voting.
