Two exhibits are showcasing the best in student art work.

The juried Student Scholarship Show, on display through April 18 at the Atrium Gallery in the Fine Arts Building, features the best works from students who enter the awards competition. Nearly $10,000 in awards and scholarships were given to students in studio art and art history.

The show's judges are James Rondeau, assistant curator of contemporary art at The Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, and Paula Galluzzi, a free-lance designer who graduated from UConn with a degree in art in 1988.

The Atrium Gallery is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
