AACC students can enjoy a slew of art events across campus in April.
On March 25, visual arts students set up the “Sister Settings” display in the Careers Center Room 202 to celebrate Women’s History Month. The student-painted bowls and challises shown in the room pay homage to powerful female figures through history and will remain up for passersby to view until April 5.
Also on April 5, students can submit original videos for the film festival, which the college will hold in Humanities 112 at 2 p.m.
Throughout April, AACC has art to offer beyond just visual.
