About the Exhibition: This exhibition is unique in that not all of the students exhibited are Art majors, since many of the first year courses can be taken without any art prerequisites. The purpose of the Foundation year is to prepare visual art students for a seamless transition into higher-level course work. Art students interested in pursuing an Associate of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art, Graphic Design or Photography are required to complete a common core of Foundation art courses designed to provide students with studio-based experience in the fundamental issues of art and design. After students complete the Foundation courses, they receive the Art + Design Foundations Certificate of Competency.
The work to be included in each student exhibition is chosen by the program's current full-time Art faculty. An independent juror is then invited to choose the exceptional pieces from the work in the exhibition to receive Purchase and Honorable Mention awards.
This exhibition is sponsored by the Delaware County Community College Educational Foundation, Athletics and Campus Engagement, and Communication, Arts & Humanities Division.
