LAWRENCE — During its annual spring exhibition and competition, the University of Kansas Department of Art honored students with $255,370 in scholarships and awards.

A KU faculty committee of Cima Katz (chair), Jerry Lubensky, Alison Luoma and Yoonmi Nam judged the nominated students’ art projects. They were displayed May 4-6 on the third and fourth floors of the Art and Design Building.

40 art students, including four incoming freshmen, received $222,240 in scholarships of varying amounts, and 10 students received $33,130 in awards of varying amounts.
