I’m super proud and inspired by the students I have the opportunity to work with in my role as lead instructor at McDowell Tech. Recently,we displayed 20 of their photographs at MACA’s gallery on Main St. in Marion. Thanks to a wonderful partnership with the McDowell Arts Council, MTCC graphics and photo students exhibit their work in the gallery once a year in Spring. Opening night was truly uplifting! I was so happy to share this experience with so many wonderful people!
Thank you to everyone who made this a success! Read more in the article published in the McDowell News:
