HARRISBURG - Art students from Southeastern Illinois College and Southern Illinois University Carbondale gathered Thursday evening at SIC's art gallery to open a show featuring SIUC art scholarship award winners.

Chu Scholarship Award. The exhibit is an exercise in abstraction according to SIUC art professor Najjar Abdul-Musawwir, who curated the show.
