If you love discovering local talent, this is one of those events where you can see what’s coming next before everyone else does. 🎨
The 2026 Visual Art and Design Showcase is on display at the Columbia Art League from April 14–24, featuring work from undergraduate students at Mizzou.
To kick things off, there’s an opening reception on Tuesday, April 14 from 5–7 PM, and it’s free to attend.
The exhibit brings together a wide mix of creative work—from photojournalism and graphic design to painting, sculpture, textile design, and even theatre set design and digital storytelling. It’s a full look at how students are interpreting art and design right now across different mediums.
Whether you stop in for the reception or swing by later in the week, it’s an easy, low-key way to support local artists and see a range of fresh, creative work all in one place.
