"I think so often we say, 'Oh not art that something just to do for fun,' but truly art is integral to so many parts of our lives everything visual around us is about art. When they come here, I hope that they can see how there are so many successful art students here at Edinboro but also the faculty that are teaching them and just showing them that this path is possible for them as they move forward," said Cappy Counard, professor of metal & jewelry, PennWest University.

Counard said they have about 30 full-time art faculty who came together to make this event possible.
