A show of force: Longtime tradition continues as UW art students strut their best stuff

They are among the UW-Madison’s very best.

They may not get the rah-rah cheers, but for decades they’ve competed, too, winning prizes and honors along the way. The Wisconsin Union’s 80th annual Student Art Show opens this evening.

It’s not the best-known UW tradition, but the juried exhibition is older than the Field House, older even than Bucky Badger. This year the excellence of more than 40 student artists will be celebrated.
