“Students in Mott Community College’s Studio Arts program take various foundation-level and upper-level studio art courses before graduating with their Associate of Fine Arts degree. As a capstone to their studies, students take ART 204: Foundations Portfolio, a course that helps them learn how to prepare their portfolio and prepare themselves to become professional artists. This exhibition highlights their work while celebrating their journey as Studio Art majors at Mott Community College.”
