Katharine Morrill, a fine arts instructor at FTCC, shares her passion for the FTCC ARTWORKS 2025. “The Art Gallery at the library is excited to highlight FTTC ARTWORKS2025, a juried group exhibition that celebrates vibrant creativity and artistic talent found across Fayetteville Technical Community College. The 11th annual showcase highlights the hard work, critical thinking, and innovation of our students, faculty, and staff, reflecting diverse voices and visions within our college community. This year, we are especially excited to present a wide variety of artistic making-from painting, and digital design to welding to textiles-highlighting the tangible and conceptual range of skill and imagination within our campus,” she said.
“As we honor the dedication of our artists, we also celebrate the strength and growth of our creative community-one that continues to inspire and evolve year after year. We warmly invite the broader community to join us in celebrating our artists and to be a part of the exciting momentum we are building together.”
