Homeward Arts Fest. ’22: Multi-Disciplinary Arts Events and Craft Show March 21 – April 2
West Chester University’s Department of Art + Design opens HOMEWARD ARTS FEST. ’22 with events and an exhibit taking place March 21 through April 2 in the John H. Baker
Gallery, E.O. Bull Center for the Arts, 2 E. Rosedale Avenue, West Chester. The exhibit
is FREE and open to the public from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Certain
events, listed below, will be offered outside of gallery hours.
HOMEWARD ARTS FEST. is a cross discipline, participatory exhibition, with performances, workshops, and a craft show; all coordinated by WCU professors in the College of Arts and Humanities. With a theme of, “What is art? We are art!,” its purpose is to raise awareness, provide opportunities, and promote community engagement through the arts. Events celebrating art in all its forms are planned throughout the festival and include:
Associate Professor of Art Andrew Snyder says, “The three collaborators on this show – Constance Case, Maria Urrutia, and myself - wanted to provide a show that is inviting to students and less formal than most gallery exhibitions. Homeward Arts Fest. is a community engagement event to make the gallery a familiar and accessible space for students. Our hope is that students will join us for the many events we have planned during the week of 3/28 to 4/2.
