About the Exhibition
For almost 25 years, the art faculty of the Millcreek Township School District has created collective shows of their work. They’ve been featured in exhibits at the Millcreek Education Center, Kada Gallery, Mercyhurst College’s Cummings Gallery, the Stonewall Gallery at Campbell Pottery, and at Gannon University’s Schuster Gallery.
Like their college counterparts, the Millcreek art faculty are not only committed to being high-quality educators, they are also dedicated to their development as visual artists. It is the only group of professional artists in the area, employed by a public school system, that regularly exhibits its artwork.
