MCCC Gallery to Host 'Visual Arts Student Exhibition'

Visual Arts students at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) will display their rich and varied talents as the Gallery at Mercer presents its annual "Visual Arts Student Exhibition." This exhibit, which features the best works by MCCC students, will be held from Monday, April 2 to Thursday, May 3. It is presented free and is open to the public.

The community is invited to an Opening Reception on Wednesday, April 4, 5 to 7 p.m. The Gallery is located on the second floor of the college's Communications Building on the West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

A range of Mercer's Visual Arts programs will be represented in the show, including Fine Arts, Advertising and Graphic Design, Digital Arts, Photography and Sculpture. Gallery hours are Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Wednesday hours extended until 7 p.m.

Said Gallery Director and Professor of Fine Arts Lucas Kelly, "From an academic viewpoint, the student exhibition is the most noteworthy show the gallery presents. It provides an opportunity for Mercer students to showcase their work - many for the first time - and to document their creativity and initiatives outside the safety of the classroom. A major step in becoming a visual arts professional is developing the confidence to share your work with the public. To celebrate this moment with our students is an honor."
