Faculty & Student Show
Open Call to Artists
Every year WWA is excited to present the work of your talented Teaching Artists and students in our Faculty and Student Art Show. This is a great opportunity to showcase what has been created during the past year and all our students and teachers will get at least 1 piece of art in the show.
