Clatsop Community College Art Department is pleased to announce the grand finale of the year, the 2026 Annual Art Student Show, on view in the Royal Nebeker Gallery from May 14 to June 5, 2026. The exhibition will be open for viewing beginning Thursday, May 14, with a public reception and awards presentation on Thursday, May 28, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Join us in celebrating our art students’ accomplishments at this event, which features cash prizes and awards, along with a short talk by this year’s guest jurors, Anna Daedalus and Kerry Davis.
The CCC Art Student Show will feature a juried selection of work created by art students who have taken art courses throughout the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 academic year, representing the full range of studio art courses offered, including graphic design, basic design, drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, and printmaking. The art faculty includes Ben Rosenberg (Printmaking), David Homer (Photography and Graphic Design), Brad Menninga (Ceramics), and Kristin Shauck (Drawing, Painting, and Basic Design). This year’s guest jurors, Anna Daedalus and Kerry Davis live in Wahkiakum County, Washington, and are highly respected artists and curators whose collaborative practice includes photography, installation, and socially engaged projects. Their thoughtful approach to contemporary image‑making and community engagement brings a valuable perspective to the selection of this year’s student work.
The 2026 Art Student Show brings together an exciting range of emerging talent, with works carefully selected by this year’s jurors to reflect the breadth and individuality of our student artists’ voices. The Royal Nebeker Gallery is deeply grateful to Fort George Brewery and Sleeper Coffee for their generous support of this event. We look forward to welcoming the community to share in this celebration of artistic expression and student achievement.
