Willie not only is the Art Teacher at the high school, but also a member of the Arts Commission. You probably have seen him at RAC's open houses and Penn Fest. He's the one running the ever popular spin art and we know there is a lot of spin art creations out there! The Clay Collection will be on display until Mid-January.
Please take some time during the busy holiday season to relax and enjoy the artwork in these two displays!
