2010 Fall Faculty Art Exhibit:
Gallery Exhibit on display: September 1-30, 2010
Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Father Ryan Arts Center is proud to feature artwork created by its team of fall visual arts instructors during the annual Fall Faculty Arts Exhibit. The Arts Center is fortunate to know and work with many talented visual arts instructors who not only teach but are professionals in their fields including painting, pottery, drawing, sketching and sculpture. Our visual arts instructors come from a variety of backgrounds and skills, yet they all have one common goal - to share their passion for the visual arts with the people we serve.

Our fall gallery features select pieces of art created by members of our fall visual arts faculty that highlights their creativity and talent.

From September 1 through September 30, we invite you to stop by the Gallery @ the Father Ryan Arts Center to witness this wonderful collection of paintings, portraits, sculptures and crafts that may just inspire you to create your own work of art.
