Art students from MTSU and other universities in Tennessee have pieces on display at the Frist Center in Nashville. The pieces will be showcased through Dec. 31.

Art professor Erin Anfinson, with the help of other professors, chose the best student work to be displayed.

"This is a really big deal for them," Anfinson said.

Danny Greene, graduate art major, is one of the artists whose work was chosen for the show.

"More people will be able to see my art in Nashville," Greene said. "It was definitely an honor to see my work in the Frist."

Dale Meier, senior art education major, said that his artwork has a cross hatching feel.

"The content of my work catches the viewer's eye. My prints are kind of like Goya and Granville," Meier said.

He feels very lucky to be chosen and looks at this experience as being humbling and great, which makes him feel good.

Other artists who have work in the exhibit are Rachel Bonham, Michael Brandon Morgan, Sarah Sullivan and Beth Copley.

"We make stuff worth being shown and we need to show it," Greene said.

"Doctors are doctors; they heal people. Lawyers are lawyers, and artists are artists, it's what we do and all I want to do."

Doors have opened for those that displayed their creativity at the Frist on Friday.

"I met the director and he told me to send him some more images of my work," Greene said.

According to Frist Public Relations Manager Rose Mary Gorman, admission to the exhibit is free of charge for all college students.
