For 25 years, the Student Annual has been one of the galleries' most popular and well-attended exhibitions, featuring a wide range of media. The artworks submitted and displayed reflect the changing concerns and trends of the art world at large. Jurors for this year's exhibition were Stephanie Brooks of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Chicago freelance designer and art director Keir Davis.
