Among the student’s work will be representational landscapes, ceramics masquerading as paintings and documentary photography.
This year’s student show is a new direction for the 11-year “Cline Show,” named in memory of former DVAC office manager Barb Cline.
The exhibit’s curator, Jeffrey Cortland Jones, will present The Barbara C. Cline Memorial Award, a cash prize, for best in show.

Also opening Friday is “Counting Sheep and Bloated Elephant,” two new large-scale, hand drawn, graphite wall drawings by Andrew Daily.
