Student Exibits
Having student learn to hang a show and to present their work in a professional manner is all part of their training to become artists. Each year I have students participate in several shows to give them exposure and experience. I have noticed that the quality of their work increases and their drive to create work improves with a public showing. It also helps to build community support of your art program.
