The East Wing Gallery at MWCC opened its doors to the public this semester after its temporary close due to last year’s construction. Joyce Miller, Gallery Director and art professor at MWCC, took full advantage and planned exhibitions and gallery talks for this fall semester, even if it meant doing some construction work herself.
Miller said through an e-mail interview, “All summer, May through August, with the help of the Studio Assistant, I repaired and refinished the gallery walls and all the pedestals.” This enabled Miller to start exhibitions as early as September 9, with paintings from retired art professor, John Pacheco, who had been teaching at MWCC for over 30 years. His exhibit ended October 4, but drew in “lots of gallery visitors” according to Miller.
