Pueblo Community College recently celebrated the work of students who participated in the Fall 2022 Student Art Show. The exhibit took place Dec. 7-13. Students submitted work in ceramics, drawing, jewelry and metalwork, photography, 2-D design and 3-D design sculpture.
Awards for first, second and third place in each category – as well as honorable mentions – were announced during the opening reception on Dec. 9. In addition, prizes were awarded for best of show, juror’s choice, chair’s choice, people’s choice and the president’s purchase award – a piece selected by PCC President Patty Erjavec to be part of the permanent collection at PCC.
You can see the complete exhibit in the PCC virtual gallery.
Congratulations to all of our students for their outstanding work!
