Ann D. Croghan SEMI-ANNUAL STUDENT ART EXHIBITION
  • Started in 1996 featuring 20 students and 28 paintings annually. The exhibition has grown to 85 students and 156 paintings twice yearly.
  • Rapid growth led to an invitation by the James J. Egan Center at the Florissant Civic Center to hold this exhibit at their location.
  • This two day event has grown into a month long exhibition.
  • As exhibition curator, mentored student artists on siting and hanging a professional art exhibition.
    • Includes creation of written instructions, entry forms, name tags, artwork labels, collecting and transporting artwork.
    • This exposure led many students to pursue art as a career.
 
NATURES GALLERY ART EXHIBITION
