Madison College’s Student Art Show Exhibit spotlights the creativity of students across the college, April 30—May 15.

The exhibit is hosted by the Yahara Journal, a student-produced fine arts and literary publication dedicated to supporting creativity and the arts throughout the college community. In addition to publishing student work, the journal hosts poetry readings, open mics and an annual spring art show that highlights a wide range of artistic expression.

The opening reception is Friday, May 1, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., featuring refreshments, student readings of poetry and short stories, and the release of the printed 2026 Yahara Journal.

The exhibit will feature student artwork from across disciplines and will remain on display through May 15. Visitors are encouraged to stop by throughout the exhibition period to experience the artistic talents of Madison College students.
