We hope all CPCC students are preparing their submissions for this year’s 2019 Annual Juried Student Art Show! Submissions reminder: drop off your USB or CD with images of your work, $5.00 for first 3 entries, cash or check only. Two additional entries for $5.00 each, 5 entries total for each artist, to Ross Gallery by Thursday, February 28th.

This year’s Juror is the talented professional artist and instructor, Bryan Wilson.

Bryan Wilson grew up between New Jersey and Georgia. It was in Georgia, at the age of 16, that he began his artistic career. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Studio Art with a Minor in Graphic Design from Morris Brown College.

After graduating college, he became an in-house Graphic Designer for Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA. After a couple years, and getting married, he and his wife relocated to Charlotte, NC, where he began teaching art at a public school and obtained his teaching credentials at University of North Carolina-Charlotte.

It was in 2012 that Bryan decided to take his painting, and picture making, ability to another level by pursuing his MFA in Drawing/Painting at the Academy of Art University where he graduated in 2015. He is now exhibiting throughout the Southeast alongside other distinguished artists. 

He is currently showing work at Foster’s Frame and Art in Huntersville, NC and Coffey and Thompson Gallery in Charlotte, NC.

To kick off our Spring Semester, we have the  privilege of hosting the works of three amazing artists in the Ross Gallery. From now until March 14 we have a mix of digital photography (Nancy O. Albert), polaroid photography (Meg Greene Malvasi) and alcohol ink paintings (Leigh B. Williams). These talented ladies have pulled together three very different artistic styles that complement each other nicely. Stop by and check out the show for yourself and we will tell you more!
