Wenatchee Valley College students will have their work featured in an art exhibit
at the Art Alley at Pybus Public Market in Wenatchee throughout the month of June.
The WVC Art Department is proud to organize this exhibit which features work by talented
students from a range of art classes, including Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking.
The exhibit opens at the Pybus Art Alley on Friday, June 6 with a Wenatchee First
Friday artists’ reception from 5 – 7 p.m. Student artists include Ella Dickmann, Natalie
Jensen, Priscilla Rosales, Joanna Lavaun, Sylvia Gwozdz, Faith Cowgill, and more.
Scott Bailey, WVC’s art program director and curator of the MAC Gallery shared, “we
are honored to be able to showcase the work of some of WVC’s talented student artists
at the Pybus Art Alley. It’s a pleasure to share the results of their hard work and
creativity with the community.”
The work included in this exhibit represents a glimpse into the high caliber of art
being created by current students, as well as the breadth of students and interests
the college serves. The art department provides opportunities for students to grow
and learn disciplines and skills that can help them bring their ideas to life by making
compelling art that reflects their unique student ideas and perspectives.
The Music and Art Center (MAC) provides state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and
learning and fosters a supportive environment for students of all ages and from all
backgrounds to develop their skills and creativity. With courses taught by practicing
professional teaching artists, the art department offers instruction in a full complement
of media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, design, illustration,
digital design, graphic design, and art history.
The art studios at WVC are dynamic places open to a wide variety of student interests,
from students who are looking to fulfill Humanities credits toward their associate
degrees in another field, to those planning to go on to an advanced art degree or
career, as well as local fine artists looking to further develop their creative practice.
Classes are designed to bring students together to learn from one another, and feature
Running Start students in high school learning alongside adults enrolled in Continuing
Education. Every student is encouraged to grow in their own ways and benefit from
one another’s perspectives, influences, and experiences.
“I am incredibly proud of the students who will be featured in the exhibit at the
Pybus Art Alley. These students come from across North Central Washington to learn
from world class faculty in first-rate facilities at Wenatchee Valley College,” shared
WVC President Faimous Harrison. “I am grateful to our art department faculty for organizing
this opportunity to showcase our talented students. This is a celebratory moment for
our students, and we look forward to sharing it with our community here in the valley.”
Art Alley at Pybus Market features work by new artists every month and is presented
in partnership with the Pybus Charitable Foundation.
