Rowan College at Burlington County Art Exhibit Opens Wednesday

More than 30 Rowan College at Burlington County students, faculty and alumni, as well as members of the community will showcase their talent at the 2016 Summer Art Exhibit, the college said Monday morning.

The exhibit opens Wednesday, June 29, at the college’s Student Art Gallery in downtown Mount Holly.

The opening reception is set for Saturday, July 9, noon-2 p.m. in the Student Art Gallery on 1 High Street. The reception and exhibit are free to the public.

The exhibit features 96 pieces including photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media and jewelry.

The exhibit runs from Wednesday, June 29 through Friday Aug. 26 during normal gallery hours: Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 3 p.m.; Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. and the second Saturday of the month from noon to 3 p.m.

It was curated by Jessica Kane, campus curator.

Rowan College at Burlington County says its Student Art Gallery is a part of the college’s transformation plan to create a modern campus experience.

The plan calls for a larger arts presence in Mount Holly by moving the gallery to a more prominent location at the front of the college’s Mount Holly Center.

The college’s fine arts studio, graphic design and fashion design programs will move to Mount Holly, joining the existing culinary arts programs.
