Those walking 91快活林 Aquinas College檚 California campus last weekend encountered an additional, albeit unexpected, instance of beauty in the walkway between St. Bernardine of Siena Library and St. Gladys Hall. There, the arcade檚 white columns bore all manner of artwork: striking replications of master artists, original compositions capturing family and friends, photography of natural subjects, and more.

The TAC Art Club, founded two years ago, followed up its recent Fine Arts Night with a public exhibition of student-made art. The event lasted throughout the weekend, affording students the opportunity to display their art publicly, many for the first time. Likewise, the exhibition gave spectators an occasion to marvel at their peers skills and talents.

Regina Terreri (23), one of the Art Club檚 founding members, said the exhibition 渨ent very well, with 渁 wide array of different types of art shown, adding, 渨e have so many talented artists on campus. While some students produced their works prior to coming to TAC, or on their own, many pieces were made possible through the Art Club檚 offerings: a creative space, supportive community, and artistic resources. 淲e have instituted our studio in the library, noted Miss Terreri, 渢hanks to the generosity and patronage of Richena Curphey, the campus librarian.

A great number of viewers not just students, but tutors and staff, as well commented on how edifying they found the display. With this smashing success behind it, the Art Club hopes to host further events in the future.
