Students in the exhibit are pursuing Anoka-Ramsey’s AFA degree program, initiated three years ago to prepare up-and-coming artists for professional success. In addition to a challenging curriculum of art courses, the college’s Art Department promotes the idea of exhibitions as being an important ingredient for creating a professional artist.
