(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA)—The Art Gallery at Delaware County Community College presents the annual AFA Foundations Exhibition, featuring the work of students taking Foundations Art courses, from Sept. 10 to Oct. 9. The Gallery, located in Room 2305 in the Academic Building is on the College’s Marple Campus (901 South Media Line Road, Media, PA 19063). 

There will be an Opening Reception on Thursday, September 10 at 11 a.m. in the Gallery. The event is free to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.  

While many of the student artists are enrolled in DCCC’s Art + Design Foundations Certificate program or the Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) programs in Art–Studio or Graphic Design, the exhibit is unique in that not all students featured are Art majors, since many Art first-year courses at DCCC can be taken without Art prerequisites.

The Art Gallery at DCCC is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be additional extended hours for Delco Arts Week; please check dccc.edu/gallery for details.

The work included in the exhibition is chosen by the program’s current full-time Art faculty. An independent juror chooses the exceptional pieces from the work in the exhibition to receive Purchase and Honorable Mention awards. The awards are funded by the College’s Educational Foundation and the Campus Life and Athletics Office.
