Green River College is proud to host the First Annual Regional Student Exhibition! This exciting new event is presented in partnership with The Leonor R. Fuller Gallery in the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts, South Puget Sound Community College and The Gallery at Tacoma Community College. Designed to rotate annually among participating community colleges, the Regional Student Exhibition will spotlight exceptional work from emerging student artists, highlighting the media instructed at each institution.
Each year, gallery directors and visual art faculty at participating schools present their own program’s spring student exhibitions. From these shows, the faculty have selected standout works to represent their institution in this regional showcase.
This fall, Green River College is honored to host the inaugural exhibition, bringing together diverse perspectives and artistic voices from our community college network. Visitors will experience an inspiring collection of work across a range of media, reflecting the talent and vision of the next generation of artists.
Join us as we launch this annual tradition and celebrate the creativity thriving in our region’s visual art programs. There will be a closing reception on Monday, November 3rd at 5pm. All are welcome.
