National Park College will present the Seventh Annual Student Art Exhibition, April 13-17, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

The Student Art Exhibition showcases students’ work in the college’s Art and Digital Media Arts programs, featuring drawings, paintings, digital art, sculpture, and multimedia projects. For many students, this is their first public show, marking an exciting milestone and celebrating their creative growth. 

“One of the most rewarding parts of the show is seeing students experience their work displayed in a gallery for the first time,” said Jennifer Seward, Assistant Professor of Digital Media Arts. “Every year, the creativity and technical skill of our students continue to grow, and the exhibition highlights their accomplishments.” 

The exhibition is free and open to the public. 

On Tuesday, April 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., the National Park College Foundation will host the third annual A Night of Art fundraising event. Guests can enjoy live music, mocktails, and hors d’oeuvres while viewing artwork and supporting student arts opportunities. Tickets for the evening are $35 per person. To purchase tickets, visit np.edu/ArtNight

On Wednesday, April 15, at noon, the exhibition will officially open with a student poetry recital. The National Park College Singers will perform, and winners of the poetry competition will read their award-winning poems. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served. This event is a wonderful opportunity to come out and support our talented student artists’ work.
