"The NMSU Art Museum is pleased to announce the 2026 Juried Student Show (JSS), taking place in Devasthali Hall on the NMSU campus. Every year, the University Art Museum exhibits an outstanding range of artworks created by undergraduate and graduate students from across our campus, demonstrating a dynamic range of voices, practices, and materials.
This year we are delighted to announce Jennifer Ling Datchuk as our juror. Jennifer Ling Datchuk: RIPENING, is a multidisciplinary exhibition currently on display at the NMSU art museum, that explores the cost of women’s labor in material culture, amplifies female voices, fosters collective care, and expands dialogue around Asian American histories and women’s labor in the Southwest. RIPENING reflects Datchuk’s practice as a trained ceramicist working across media—from hair to video—as she examines and questions social, cultural, and political systems that continue to impact women.
