Spring Student Exhibition 2009

QUOTED from the Dallas Observer, April 23, 2009:


Art Out Loud

As an art student, you just want your work to be seen. And sure, it's great if the student at the next easel or podium really digs your style, but it would be a bit more validation if someone out of your class schedule appreciated your creative efforts. And so, the H. Paxton Moore Fine Art Gallery at El Centro College presents Our Voices: An Exhibition Featuring the Fine Arts Studio Students of El Centro College. The juried show features installation, ceramics, painting and more and culminates in a closing reception/awards presentation from 4 to 6 p.m., May 7. The gallery, 801 Main Street, is open weekdays, which allows ample time for the public to stop in, gaze and quietly applaud this year's students.
