(PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ) -- The Faculty Student Show at West Windsor Arts will celebrate the work of teaching artists and their students created in a class or workshop at WWAC during the Fall, Winter, or Spring sessions of the 2021-2022 class year.  The exhibition runs now through July 9th. Each year WWA honors its talented teaching artists and the outstanding work created by its students, both youth and adults, by showcasing their work in a culminating exhibition, the Faculty Student Art Show. 

WWA’s Teaching Artists comprise a wonderful group of talented and accomplished individuals in their field and in the community. With small class sizes there are plenty of opportunities for one-on-one instruction with our supportive staff. This provides each student with a personalized learning experience for all ages. At WWA, they value learners as creative and independent thinkers, who benefit from work in the arts and the guidance of their Teaching Artists. WWA could not be prouder of their artists, Teaching Artists, and all of their accomplishments throughout the past year. No matter the difficulties of COVID-19 and normal life, WWA aims to offer a safe place where students and teachers can leave their worries behind and feel empowered by their art. 

Faculty highlighted in the exhibition and the art forms they teach include: Zakia Ahmed - Adult Guided Oil Painting, Lori Langsner - Beginners and Intermediate Oil Painting, Eleni Litt - Art Circle and Doodling Meet-Up, Susan Mitrano - Watercolor Studio, Pratibha Raju - Drawing studio and Acrylic studio, Sarika Soman - Brilliant Watercolor, Acrylic Studio, and Watercolor Studio, and Katie Truk - Drawing and Watercolor and Draw, Paint Sculpt!

This year WWA is especially pleased to present so many youth students with the Certificate of Fine Arts (CiFA) program. This program has become the backbone to the art education programs offered at the WWA. The works presented in this exhibition reflect the exceptional work and growth of the artists over the course of just a year!

"Open

"Open Book(s)" - Adventures on the wild frontier of bookmaking, and meaning-making, in the first floor galleries of Mana Contemporary

Books do not need to be beautiful objects to be cherished. Many indispensable books on my shelf were in poor condition when I brought them home from the shop. The publishers who put out the cheap yellow-page paperbacks that rocked my world and set my course when I was a child didn’t give much consideration to font, printing, or paper stock. All that mattered was readability. Could I open it fast, close it up quick, and chuck it in my bag when I was done? If anybody at the publishing company was making design decisions, those were their objectives. Any impediment to or distraction from the reading experience was unwelcome. They took it for granted that everything that mattered was inside the book.
