Ahead of Their Time 2010, an annual juried exhibition now in its eleventh year, gives advanced art students the opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional setting as well as receive feedback from a well respected curator from the Austin area. This year, the exhibition was selected by Mary Mikel Stump. Stump has served as Gallery Director at Texas State University since 1998, where she curates and organizes around 20 exhibitions a year, in addition to working with students and the larger University community. With a background both in studio art and architectural illustration/design, Stump brings multiple levels of working knowledge to her curatorial and creative practices. In addition, she has juried exhibitions, served on Arts Boards and Commissions, written critical reviews, and given lectures on a variety of issues in contemporary art.

This exhibition is supported by HEB.
