Greenville Technical College is proud to announce 23 Awards, from the 2024 Visual Arts Annual Student Exhibition (VAASE). These award-winning student works represent the best of the best from Greenville Tech’s Department of Visual Arts (DVA). 49 Visual Arts students entered 113 works in DVA’s annual fall juried competition. 58 works were juried into VAASE, and 23 were awarded cash prizes. These award winners are currently installed as 23 Awards at Good Art Co. in downtown Greenville.
 
Many thanks to our 2024 VAASE juror, Jessica Scott-Felder, a visual and performance artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Jessica took a morning out of her busy schedule to view all the entries and choose works that comprised VAASE. From those she also chose the 23 Awards now on view. Jessica is an Associate Professor of Studio Art at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC where she teaches design, drawing, figure drawing, painting, and printmaking.
 
The Department of Visual Arts at Greenville Tech offers associate degrees and certificates in fine arts, graphic design, photography, and web design. Greenville Tech’s DVA graduates are highly sought after by local advertising firms, professional photographers, and regional universities. 23 Awards showcases DVA’s varied curriculum: ceramics, design & color, digital imagery, drawing, graphic design, photography, typography, and web design. VAASE and 23 Awards celebrate the success and diligence of all GTC’s student artists and the excellence of the DVA faculty. All high school students interested in continuing studies in visual arts can discover the quality of Greenville Tech’s locally available art education by visiting 23 Awards.
 
VAASE awards were made possible by generous contributions from the Metropolitan Arts Council (with funds received from the City of Greenville, BMW Manufacturing Company, Michelin North America, Inc., SEW-Eurodrive and the South Carolina Arts Commission), plus APCO Plastics, Bennetts’ Frame and Art Gallery, the Greenville Tech Foundation, and Suburban Paints.
