The festival will begin with an art exhibition that opens at 6 p.m. in the Wayne Learning Center Atrium. Pieces in various media created in the fall semester by students who have an interest in studio art will be featured.
“The works represent our students’ achievements obtained through their rigorous course of study,” said Art Instructor Angie Waller. “Mentored by myself as well as student leaders in each class, these artists demonstrate their command of artistic techniques, critical thinking, communication skills, as well as professional exhibition practices.”
A choral concert will start at 7 p.m. in Moffatt Auditorium in the Wayne Learning Center. There will be a diverse mixture of music ranging from Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind” to “We Need a Little Christmas” from the Broadway musical “Mame.”

Audience members will be treated to the talented WCC chorus singing and dancing through the aisles and on stage!”
