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
Grafica Fine Art Gallery in Webster Groves, MO extended an invitation in 2012 for my students to exhibit their artwork. Their first exhibition will be October 2013.
