Providing Students with a Larger Audience to View Their Work

For the sixth year in a row, the Morris Museum will be hosting the Portfolio Class Exhibition of design and fine art pieces created by Works by CCM students at Morris Museumstudents at County College of Morris (CCM). This event provides CCM students a venue to display their work to a larger audience outside of the college.

The exhibition, consisting of works produced by students taking Portfolio classes through CCM’s Department of Art and Design, runs from November 9 through January 3. A reception, which is free and open to the public, will take place Thursday, November 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. The Morris Museum is located at 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown.

“The Portfolio courses help students to critique, improve and select their best work; to create effective presentations such as websites, business cards, PowerPoints and portfolio books; and to create written documents for the purpose of marketing their work and themselves to galleries, museums and prospective clients or to transfer to four-year colleges and universities,” said Todd L. W. Doney, CCM professor of visual arts. “Having their work on exhibit at the Morris Museum is a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their work.”

The exhibition represents the summation of all of a student’s work from his or her years of creative studies at CCM. For information on the Department of Art and Design at CCM, visit http://tinyurl.com/yc4pfzef/.
