With the 2017 Student/Faculty Show concluding its short run on Sunday, it’s time to celebrate the student award winners!

As we’ve said before, the Student/Faculty Show is the best single place to see the variety of work that takes place in Art League classrooms, and this year’s awards represent that well.

The closing reception will be this Sunday, March 5, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. This is your chance to meet the artists and your last chance to see the exhibit before it closes! Find more information, and the full program, on the exhibit page.
