The MTSU Todd Art Gallery announces the Winner's Circle, an invitational exhibit of artwork from students of Murfreesboro City and Rutherford County Schools. Scheduled May 8-18, 2017, a closing Awards Reception is planned Thursday, May 18, 4:30 p.m., MTSU, Todd Hall, Room 224A. This year's competition also serves as an inaugural event for student work from area private schools, and home-schoolers. Additionally, the Center for the Arts added a new category to the competition this year through the inclusion of 3-D print work.

For this edition the Center and the Murfreesboro Art Committee gathered student work to be displayed first at their respective locations inside the Center Gallery and the Rotunda Gallery of City Hall. To accommodate all artwork in one location everything will then be moved to MTSU as a final showcase for the 2016-17 academic year. In this way, the broad range of student artistry and diversity is on display and awaits attendee discovery.
