The MSU Department of Art Galleries and the Starkville Area Arts Council co-organize this annual juried exhibition as part of the programming for the annual Cotton District Arts Festival (CDAF).

This year, over 30 pieces are on exhibit in the Cotton District Arts Festival Juried Arts Exhibit. Pieces include examples of painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, fiber art, graphic design, sculpture and photography. From the accepted pieces, prizes are awarded in several categories. All pieces and awards in the exhibit were selected by notable guest juror Derek Smith, professional artist and owner of The Little Yellow Building creative studio in Brookhaven, Mississippi.
