Evolution

Greetings to all Art Alumni and Art Educators. The Arno Maris Gallery at Westfield State University invites you to participate in a very introspective venture featuring your artwork and the artwork of a student of yours who became an art educator. This could include a student of a teacher who already became an art educator or a young student who aspires to become an art teacher. As the process evolves, exposed are generations of art teachers and students who continue to influence others as they spread their knowledge and passion for the arts.
