AVON PARK, Fla. – March 24, 2025 – The South Florida State College (SFSC) Museum of Florida Art and Culture (MOFAC) will present the 2025 Annual Student Juried Art Show, Wednesday, April 9 through Friday, May 9, in the Museum’s gallery on the SFSC Highlands Campus in Avon Park. The monthlong show will feature painting, drawing, ceramics, digital media, mixed media, and photography created by SFSC art students.
An awards ceremony and reception will be held on Wednesday, April 16 at 5:30 p.m. in the Alan Jay Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts.
“The 2025 SFSC Annual Student Juried Art Show features an impressive panel of jurors, including potter Jim Fetzer of J. Fetzer Pottery, landscape architect and artist Max Gooding of The Max Gooding Company, and artist Keith Goodson of Keith Goodson Studios,” said Karla Respress, SFSC art instructor. “The judging was conducted by art historian Megan Stepe from Full Sail University. Stepe is also a former curator of MOFAC. Attendees of the exhibition will appreciate a diverse range of works, showcasing both traditional themes and techniques, as well as unconventional approaches, such as photographic recreations of iconic art pieces and innovative paintings created using bacteria. All are encouraged to visit during the first three days of the show to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award.”
This year’s Student Art Show is sponsored by Max Gooding, Cathy Futral, Tanglewood Art League, the MOFAC docents, and the SFSC Art Club. The Max Gooding Award for Best of Show will be announced and used to purchase an exceptional student art piece for the SFSC Student Art Collection. This award is made possible by SFSC alumnus Max Gooding. The Tanglewood Art League will present two awards for continuing art majors. Cathy Futral, retired SFSC Art professor, will present two Awards of Excellence. SFSC President Fred Hawkins will choose one piece of artwork that will become part of the President’s Art Collection at SFSC.
MOFAC exhibits can be viewed Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 12:30 – 4:30 p.m. and by appointment. Admission is free. MOFAC is located at 600 West College Drive in Avon Park.
