Artwork created by Matt Ballou, professor of drawing and painting at the University of Missouri's School of Visual Studies, will be included in the 39th Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. The Bradley University Department of Art and Design chose Ballou's "Block Stack" to receive a purchase award for exhibit and will be part of the Bradley art collection along with artists from previous shows. 

The Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition is the second-longest running juried print and drawing competition in the country. Every two years it features the best contemporary graphic artwork chosen from around the globe. This exhibition will be featured in two campus galleries at Bradley University: Heuser Art Gallery and Hartmann Center Gallery. The show will also extend to other venues in the downtown area: The Peoria Riverfront Museum and The Peoria Art Guild.
