Madison College's Continuing Education program is hosting its annual Student and Faculty Art Show from August 18 to September 12 at the Truax Art Gallery on the Truax campus. The exhibition features work by over 50 artists, including ceramics, drawings, paintings, sculpture, and mixed media. A free opening reception will take place on August 16 from 4-6 p.m., offering a live art demonstration, refreshments, and wine tasting, with summer gallery hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
This event matters because it highlights the creative achievements of noncredit art students and instructors, showcasing the value of community-based art education. It provides the public with an accessible opportunity to engage with local art and learn about Madison College's wide range of noncredit art classes, which are open to all skill levels and include watercolor, ceramics, fashion illustration, and printmaking.
