A.F.A. Foundations Exhibition Spring 2021

Welcome to the spring 2021 virtual A.F.A. Foundations Exhibition! This exhibition features nearly 200 pieces created over the 2019-2020 academic year by students registered for foundation art courses at Delaware County Community College. This exhibition is unique in that not all of the students exhibited are Art majors, since many of the first year courses can be taken without any art prerequisites. The purpose of the foundation year is to prepare visual art students for a seamless transition into higher-level course work. Art students interested in pursuing an Associate of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art, Graphic Design or Photography are required to complete a common core of foundation art courses designed to provide students with studio-based experience in the fundamental issues of art and design. This exhibition is usually held on campus during the fall semester, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s exhibition is presented entirely in an online format.

The work to be included in each student exhibition is chosen by the program's current full-time Art faculty. An independent juror is then invited to choose the exceptional pieces from the work in the exhibition to receive Purchase and Honorable Mention awards. Gerard F. Brown, Associate Professor and Chairperson of Art at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture was invited by the art faculty to jury the award recipients in this exhibition.

Funding for this annual exhibition is made possible by the Educational Foundation, Campus Life Office, and Communication, Arts and Humanities Division of Delaware County Community College.
