The Annual Juried Student Art Show was held during Fine Arts Weekend. This show, open to all Carthage students and juried by a guest artist/critic, featured the best of drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, ceramics, and design.

Carthage Dance participated in two events during Fine Arts Weekend. First, there was a performance celebrating the opening of "Ebb and Flow," the new art exhibit in the Johnson Art Gallery. There was also an informal performance that featured original works created and performed by dance minors in the third and final feedback showing for the upcoming student dance concert, "Away From The Mirror."

Drawing on classroom work and independent projects, this event showcased a selection of ongoing student work on the screen. Midway through the semester, these thought-provoking short films were at various stages of completion. Students and professors were on hand to discuss the work.

What do an exciting world premiere play, a chamber orchestra concert featuring the winner of Carthage's first concerto competition, work by internationally acclaimed visual artists, a juried student art show, experimental student dance work, and the most critically acclaimed movie of all time have in common? They're all happened during Carthage's Fine Arts Weekend.
