Students from Westminster College and the Wilmington Area School District (WASD) are once again showcasing their artistic talents in the annual exhibition Environmental Art in the Community, now on display throughout New Wilmington and on Westminster College’s campus.

Running through Dec. 2, this year’s exhibition features the work of 163 student artists—119 from Westminster College and 44 from WASD—whose pieces explore themes of sustainability, community and the natural world. The exhibition highlights a wide variety of artistic mediums, including photography, painting, mixed media, sculpture, creative writing and digital art.

Artwork is displayed in 16 locations throughout the borough and on campus, inviting visitors to take a self-guided walking tour that celebrates the intersection of art, environment and community. An interactive map of display locations is available here, and a complete online program with artwork listings and descriptions can be accessed here.

Award winners—sponsored by Bebe’s Shop, Gilliland’s Market, Pizza Joe’s and Pulse Coffee Company—will be announced in early December.

The Environmental Art in the Community exhibition is a collaborative project among Westminster College, Wilmington Area School District and 15 local businesses where the artwork is displayed. The event is part of the Beyond the Quad Art Series, which aims to connect students and the community through the arts.
