MCCC Gallery To Host Fine Arts Student Show, 4/27-5/13

The artistic talent of Mercer County Community College's Visual Arts students will be beautifully showcased in this year's "MCCC Visual Arts Students Exhibition," on display from Tuesday, April 27 to Thursday, May 13. An Opening Reception takes place on April 29, 5 - 7:30 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public and takes place at The Gallery at MCCC, located on the second floor of the college's Communications Building on the West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

Fifty students have contributed more than 120 works of art in a wide variety of styles and medium, including raku, sculpture, paintings, prints, graphic designs, photographs and ceramics.  Observes MCCC Gallery Director Tricia Fagan, "This exhibit includes just a sampling of the terrific work done by Mercer students studying in the college's Fine and Visual Arts programs. The Opening Reception gives the public an opportunity to meet these talented student artists, as well as many of the college's art faculty."

This year's winning Student Show exhibit postcard was designed by Natalia Aviles, a student in the Advertising Design III class of Associate Professor Tina LaPlaca.
