“It’s good for the students to see their progression and get a taste of an artist’s life by planning for their sophomore art exhibition,” said Eubanks. “The Art Exhibition class is a required course for art students, but it also gives them the opportunity to show off their work and learn what pieces might be best to display.”
Additionally, Kennedy Watts earned a 3rd place ribbon for her painting, “Pride & Joy” at the Mississippi Community College Art Instructors Association annual competition.
