Due to the closure of all facilities, Montgomery County Community College 2020 Annual Student Exhibition is being held virtually, via the online art gallery Behance.

The showing features 83 pieces created by more than 30 student artists. It includes paintings, prints, drawings, ceramics, 3D pieces, design work, and video.

“For 53 years at Central Campus in Blue Bell and 15 years at West Campus in Pottstown, our annual spring exhibits have displayed the hard work and talents of our art students,” said Galleries Director Patrick Rodgers.

It was the students’ fortitude and the unwavering support and encouragement of the Art Department faculty that made it possible to continue the tradition this year, “albeit in an online format,” he added.

The gallery is available for public viewing at any time until December. Like with previous years, this year will also serve as an art sale with many pieces available for purchase.

Some of the pieces that are part of the exhibit have been inspired by the stay-at-home order following the coronavirus outbreak and were created with materials students had available at home.

“There were some students who felt their projects weren’t finished or didn’t belong in the show,” said Rogers. “I wanted to tell them that they did.”
