'Cause You Gotta Have Art!
Instructor of Art Sharon Trammel's Painting I students designed and produced a mural on the third-floor hallway in the Sycamore Building. The science department chose the images and each student was responsible for transferring and painting an image on the wall. Each year for the past four years, Trammel has assigned a mural project on the campus of A-B Tech to her students.
Lots and Lots and Lots of Art!

The first Juried Curriculum Student Art Show will be held in the spring in the Front Gallery of the Asheville Arts Council. This will be the first showing of the students work in a public art gallery.
