The 4th Annual Asian American Pacific Islander Event celebrates 2024 as the Year of the Dragon in the tradition of the Chinese zodiac. It symbolizes power, good fortune, and strength and is associated with auspicious traits like intelligence, ambition, and charisma. This directly contradicts the colonized, Eurocentric framing of dragons as evil, greedy, and malevolent.

The University Art Galleries are thrilled to invite you to the reception for the fine art exhibition Award Winners from the Juried Stan State Student Exhibition on Thursday, June 6, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. with artist talks at 6:30 p.m., followed by a question and answer period.
