The NMSU Art Museum is proud to present the 2025 Juried Student Show (JSS), which will take place in Devasthali Hall on the NMSU campus. Each year, the University Art Museum (UAM) showcases an extraordinary array of artworks created by undergraduate and graduate students, demonstrating a diverse range of materials, techniques, and concepts. This highly anticipated exhibition not only celebrates the remarkable talent and dedication of our students but also draws a large and enthusiastic audience, fostering strong community engagement.

This year we are excited to announce Carlos Rosales-Silva as our juror. Carlos Rosales-Silva: Border Destroyer, is a monumental mural project currently on display at the NMSU Art Museum, installed in the Mullennix Bridge Gallery. Drawing from modernism’s roots in Indigenous design and traditional Mexican material culture, Rosales-Silva connects varied cultural and ecological iconography from the border region within this textured mural, blurring the lines between architecture, landscape painting, and abstract art.

Please join us for the opening reception of the JSS on March 21st from 5:30-7:30pm, with the awards ceremony beginning at 6pm.
