The Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) is currently seeking entries for an exhibit entitled “Passing the Palette: Arts Educators and Students.” High school visual arts educators who teach in Mercer or an adjacent county, along with selected student artists from their school, are invited to participate. All visual arts media will be accepted, including but not limited to paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and digital media.
Drop-off is during regular Gallery hours from Monday, November 2 to Thursday, November 5, 2015. Submission details, including Gallery hours, are available at mccc.edu/gallery. Teachers with additional questions should email gallery@mccc.edu. The MCCC Gallery is located on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
According to Gallery Director Dylan Wolfe, the exhibit, the first of its kind at Mercer, will celebrate the talent and creativity of local art instructors, as well as the next generation of artists who are interpreting the world in new and interesting ways.
Submissions must be delivered to the MCCC Gallery by the teacher. Up to six pieces will be accepted from the instructors and their selected current or former students. (Students who have already graduated are eligible.)
The “Passing The Palette” exhibit will be on display from Monday, November 16 to Tuesday, December 8, 2015. A community reception will be held Wednesday, November 18, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The show is free and open to the public.
