en-US UCF School of Visual Arts and Design (SVAD) Juried Exhibition

Celebrating the creativity of our community’s emerging artists, this juried exhibition features work by SVAD graduate and undergraduate students.

Through a diverse range of techniques and materials, including painting, drawing, sculpture and mixed media, the selected works offer personal explorations of identity. These works reflect the memories, experiences, relationships, communities and values that create one’s sense of self.

The Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens is honored to partner with UCF SVAD to present this exhibition, continuing the legacy of its founder, Albin Polasek, whose dedication to arts education has influenced generations of artists. In that spirit, the museum remains committed to supporting emerging talent by providing a platform for new voices and creative expression.

en-US Presented as part of Pegasus PlayLab 2026. On Election Night, the six young Millennials who make up the Danville, OH Lions Club eagerly await the results. However, the inner drama within the group, a missing member, a conspiracy theory about a school shooting not too far away, and the lack of resources for the 79th Annual Raccoon Dinner threaten to ruin more than just the positive vibe. Meanwhile, President Sly Cooper, a literal Raccoon, addresses the Danville, OH Raccoon Club after declaring martial law due to dubious election results. Facing an insurrection and a mole in their camp, Sly and her minions must find a way to bring their population to heel. Raccoon Play is a satire examining how conspiracy theories threaten to destroy small town America.

Playwright: SMJ | Director: Nick Bazo

Talkbacks with the audience follow the performances on June 11 and 12.
