Spring 2007 President's Lecture Series

Meet the Visual & Performing Arts    

The area of Art, Drama, and Music are delighted to provide cultural enrichment and entertainment for the towns we serve, as we give students the opportunity to practice and improve their skills as artists.  All instructors in the fine arts area are first-rate artists and public speakers themselves, and they practice what they teach.

The Art Gallery in the Duson-Hansen Fine Arts Building features revolving displays of work by faculty, community, and student artists.  Sculpture, ceramics, collages, paintings and drawings are on offer, and occasionally there is even an outdoor installation.  There is also a constantly changing art exhibit in the hallway near the art studio.

Drama and Speech are an integral part of Fine Arts at WCJC. Phil Hoke, our drama director, presents three major productions every year, and has introduced such variety as William Shakespeare, Thornton Wilder, and Arthur Miller to our audiences. He also directs one act and original plays, and has taken the Greenroom Players to UIL contests each of the last two years. Our Speech Area hosts a “Speak Out!” program every semester on two campuses, an opportunity for the best of our student speakers to perform before a real audience, and with scholarships as their reward.

The Music Area offers, as always, a rich variety of treats for all musical tastes:  there is choral music, both sacred and secular; instrumental music; classical, and popular music to delight and inspire audiences.
