Montgomery County Community College invites the community to experience its 19th Annual Student Art Exhibition on display now through April 30 at the North Hall Gallery, located at 16 E. High Street in Pottstown.

The exhibition opened on April 15 with a reception and awards ceremony. The showcase features 50 student-submitted works across a variety of media, including paintings, pencil sketches and more.

“The exhibit highlights our students’ creativity, their growth, and the hard work they’ve put into their art,” said Patrick Rodgers, Manager of the Montco Cultural Center. “There’s something here that will impress and inspire every visitor.”

This year’s juror was Brenda Macon, a professional artist from the Blue Bell area. She selected the first, second and third place winners, as well as the Best in Show awards.
