University of North Georgia Gainesville campus students about to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree with concentrations in graphic design and ceramics will set into the spotlight before walking down the aisle to accept their degree.

Three featured art students — Ryan Knowles, Ashton Thompson and Cortland West — will have their works on display in the student exhibition titled “Current” from April 10-21 in the John Harrison Hosch Library Gallery at 3820 Mundy Mill Road in Oakwood.

The exhibition will be open from 7:30-10:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and 1-6 p.m. Sunday. A closing reception will be at 7 p.m. Friday, April 21.

Each student’s work is varied based on individual interests.

Her final project is designing an 18-page magazine devoted to car enthusiasts, including layout and original photography. Thompson is pursuing a career in layout, product rebranding and photography.
