Junk Drawer: Helicon's Annual Student Art Exhibit
November 11th 2023
Kaitlyn Fa, Helicon History of Art Undergraduate Society
The Helicon History of Art Undergraduate Society hosted its annual student artwork exhibition, this year under the theme of "Junk Drawer." We sought to uplift the various artworks that come from our student community, much like how a junk drawer is a collection of endlessly fascinating objects, though initially mundane to the eye. This exhibition was wholly curated, facilitated, and fundraised by Helicon members. We only showed student-made artworks and typically received a wide variety of submissions from across U of M's colleges. From short films, to fashion pieces, sculptures, paintings, and more, we aimed to encourage, promote, and display the creative powers of the students at the University of Michigan. We believe that every student, regardless of their major, college, or background, deserves an opportunity to exhibit their work and want to create the best space possible for these student artists.
