Explore the Azores though the art of Bristol Community College students and faculty.
Last summer, a course in Advanced Art Studio: International Experience had students Monique Dupre, Kenneth Fontaine, Angela Dispirito, Chris Masse, Matt Willett, Neal Fitzgerald, Jessica Rapoza, Jennifer Cawley, and instructor Erik Durant travel to the Azores for culture and inspiration. The result is a show featuring various works and mediums from these nine artists based on their experiences as Travelers, not Tourists.
