This year’s Student Fine Art Show was absolutely wonderful!!! On the evening of February 26th we gathered to celebrate all our Fine Art Department Students and those who were juried into the 2020 Student Fine Art Show. A special thanks goes to Professor Stacy Slaten, for organizing the entire show!

The reception is also a great night for parents, friends and family to see the work of all those they’ve been supporting. Many of the students quietly work away until the pieces are ‘show ready.’

Dr. McClellan, our Dean for the Liberal Arts Department, fully invests time and efforts to help make sure our Fine Arts Programs are supported and that our students, faculty and staff are appreciated. We are thrilled to have him in our corner : )

We were also lucky to have our new Northern Virginia Community College President, Dr. Kress, in attendance.
She gave a truly inspiring speech that touted the talents and efforts of every student in the Arts who has been working hard to become the great artist they are destined to be. There are many who may not have gotten into this years show, or even won awards this year, but who are tremendously talented, creative and worthy a huge applause for being bold enough to put themselves out there by being visually expressive and sharing their creative efforts. I have to agree whole-heartedly. So many talents in our department who have amazing futures ahead 🙂
