"Creativity fuels invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. These will transform our economy. By supporting the arts and artists in our communities, we tell our young people and our visitors: This is what matters here -- ideas, innovation, creativity."Neeta Delaney-ArtServe Michigan

The Jackson Area Career Center is proud to present the Alumni of the Commercial Art and Media Program and their Impact on the economy, product, entertainment and lifestyles.

This exhibit will showcase the Impact of Art Education in the curriculum from one program over the course of a career. This show will exhibit the accomplishments of individuals who have made an Impact and contributions to the fields of art and related careers as well as the community, and those who have supported them.

I have been an instructor at the Jackson Area Career Center for 30 years and have for as long been proud of our Alumni and their accomplishments. Many graduates have surpassed our wildest expectations, with their broad range of job titles, exotic locations, Impacting ur personal lives with products, entertainment, and lifestyles.

In doing this exhibit, I’m calling on our talented group of Alumni from around the world to return and present their work to the community who supports the diverse population of the Arts and Cultural heritage that has been nurtured through education.  I would like to extend an invitation to home school art teachers, parents, and respected peers were there to encourage them along the way. They wil be invited to spend time with their friends and family, celebrating their achievements together.

The community is assisting with sponsorship, facilities and promotion at a local, state and possibly at the national level. I cannot over empasize the magnitude of this exhibit and the attention that it is gaining. But its success depends on you and your contributions.

We want to display your art, products and contributions to the community as Alumni, through you, your students or children.
