Northeast Texas Community College art students are earning recognition at the state level after participating in a highly competitive juried exhibit hosted by the Texas Association of Schools of Art (TASART).
The undergraduate division of the exhibit featured 492 entries from across Texas, with only 183 artworks selected for inclusion. NTCC students Skyelor Craddock and Belladonna Kearney each had two pieces accepted into the exhibit—an impressive accomplishment that highlights the strength of the college’s art program.
“We are so excited and incredibly proud of these ladies,” said Mileah Hall, Associate Professor of Art. “To have multiple works accepted in such a competitive field speaks volumes about their talent, creativity, and dedication to their craft.”
Selected works by Craddock and Kearney are currently on display in the Whatley Center foyer. The campus community is encouraged to stop by and view these outstanding pieces in person.
