Adele Castillo & Students Exhibition

Over the last 20 + years I’ve watched friendships grow in class along with the skills of my students. Painting is as much work as it is fun. On the other end of the effort, I see their pride in their final results. The skill levels on display in this exhibit range from beginner to professional. The work and effort shows in the quality of the paintings my students produce. I’m so proud of each student and hope visitors appreciate their art in this exhibit.

Curated fashion displays or installations

Live models showcasing designs during the reception

Designer meet-and-greets

Interactive or behind-the-scenes elements that highlight the creative process

 September Juried All – Media Show
