We at EICC have many hidden talents, we are a vibrant community of creative people and are showing it!
The SCC Library’s Read Gallery was set to display artwork and crafts created by EICC Faculty and Staff for their current exhibit. With all the campuses currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to display the works virtually.
I am very proud of the virtual exhibit presented here. As an art teacher and art maker, I know the joy of being creative and creating. We at EICC are known for our job descriptions. What a lovely experience to see how fellow employees at EICC express other aspects of their creativity. This exhibit, of course, is not complete because it only represents the visual arts. Certainly, there are writers, poets, actors, musicians, builders, gardeners, and more amongst us.
Enjoy!
Special thanks to Alan Campbell, Honey Bedell, Ann Lawler, and all the exhibitors.
