(PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ) -- Every day students of all ages come to the West Windsor Arts Center to expand their knowledge and experiment with art and creativity. Whether they are adults or children, they take classes in order to try something new or hone their skills by learning from some of the best teaching artists in the region. Classes are offered in many artistic media including painting, drawing, and sculpting as well as fashion design, photography and the literary and performing arts. The annual Faculty Student Show aims to provide the experience of submitting and preparing their work for a professional exhibition as well.

“The students’ outstanding artwork in the show represents the quality of our teaching artists,” states Richard Robinson, Program Manager at West Windsor Arts Center. “I am very proud of all our teaching artists and their ability to guide our students, no matter the students’ level of experience, through the creative process.”
