"Event Identity is all theirs as they become their own clients — planning, designing and carrying out every aspect of the exhibit." Patrick Stauffer, who will graduate from the art program thisspring, is looking forward to the event, not only for what it could mean to him, but also the university, "For me, it is actually a big deal. I am excited about putting upsome of my art and letting people see what I have been doing for the last four or five years," he said. "I think it will draw people to UVU as well, because people don't know a lot about the art department here." Stauffer, who is one of nearly two-dozen UVU students participating in the event, will have three pieces of work on display -- one in graphite, one in acrylic and one mixed media piece. Each display will' have something to do with the human figure. !

"Last fall was! the first attempt and it was a huge success; the students learned a, lot from it in what to do and what not to do." ; The artwork, which includes pieces of photography, graphic design, illustration and fine art, will remain on display for the entire month of April.
