Student Show Features Creative Artwork
Oil paintings, large digital graphic prints, pen, clay and glossy black and white prints make up the variety of student artwork that is on display in the Flora Kirsch Beck Gallery at Alma College.

 

In the more than 125 years since its founding, Alma College has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, a competitive pipe band and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.
