Join Mattie Kelly Arts Center (MKAC) and the Department of Fine and Performing Arts & Humanities at Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC) in celebrating our students and faculty for the 2025 Arnie Hart Juried Student and Faculty Exhibitions. The annual Arnie Hart Show, begins with a week-long student workshop and a visiting guest judge, culminating in a widely attended awards ceremony and event!
Our guest judge, Caitlin Rhea, MFA, Curator of Education at the Pensacola Museum of Art, carefully selected 75 artworks for this year's student show. The chosen pieces highlight a range of imagination, growing artistic voices, and skills within the NWFSC student community.
Arnie Hart programming is made possible by Ms. Jean Hart's generous donations in memory of her husband, Arnie Hart, who established the College's vibrant ceramics program when he taught at NWFSC from 1966 through 1999.
