Montgomery College’s King Street Gallery presents the annual Student Exhibition

The King Street Gallery presents the annual Student Exhibition featuring the work of Montgomery College students from the Department of the Visual and Performing Arts at Takoma Park, Silver Spring Campus.  The exhibition will be on display from May 19th through September 9th, 2022. 

King Street Gallery is open late on May 19th from 5 PM to 7:30 PM for the exhibition opening. This event is located at the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation Arts Center. This exhibition is free and open to the public. For more information, visit their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MCVPA 

The Virtual Student Exhibition featuring artwork from remote classes can be followed on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/930kingstreet/ and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MCVPA  - You can also see all the student artwork online here.

The exhibition features artworks made by Art & Design students over the past year and includes work from courses in 2D Design, 3D Design,  Ceramics, Craft, Drawing,  Graphic Design, Illustration, Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture. Throughout the year, Montgomery College art students have worked hard to accomplish a variety of artwork that will make this year’s show something not to miss.  Please join them to celebrate their student body's creativity.  

The works are usually for sale, and I've discussed many times in my seminars for beginning collectors (Bootcamp for Art Collectors), art student shows are an excellent way to get original artwork at student prices.
