NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University Demons are turning up the heat this summer with a juried exhibition of pyrotechnical art by collegiate artists from across the United States. Due to COVID-19, 2020 Hotter ‘N Hell was exhibited virtually.

“The Hotter ‘N Hell National Collegiate Art Exhibition features all art forms that use fire and heat as part of the creative process, for example, ceramics, glass-blowing, welded sculpture, poured metals, wood-burning, metalsmithing, burned textiles, fireworks, etc.,” said Phyllis Lear, professor of art and exhibition coordinator.  “The 2020 exhibition hosted 46 works of art by 21 artists from 12 states.”
