Ten distinguished NSCAD University students have made the shortlist for this year’s Starfish Student Art Awards; check out their work at www.nscad.ca/starfishawards <http://www.nscad.ca/starfishawards> .
The grand prize winner will be announced at the Starfish gala and exhibition opening on Friday, May 4, 7 to 9 p.m. at NSCAD’s Port Campus.
