Paris Junior College student talent was recognized at the 2017 Spring Juried Student Art Exhibit and awards ceremony held in the Foyer Gallery on Tuesday, May 2. Lena Spencer, guest artist in a previous exhibit, was judge for the entrants.
“It has been a privilege to work with these young artists over the past year," said PJC art instructor Susan Moore, "and help them prepare to transfer on to earn advanced degrees with their knowledge of and dedication to art. This final exhibit represents a wide variety of approaches and mediums, and is a tribute to the students’ abilities to try new approaches and get outside their comfort zones, and be successful. From Freshmen to continuing education students, this exhibit represents PJC’s dedication to serving all levels of student interests and abilities in the visual arts. I am very pleased to have been a part of it.”
