Congratulations to Tyler School of Art, Art Education and Community Arts Practices Professor Pepón Osorio who received the Distinguished Arts Award from Pennsylvania’s Governor Tom Wolf. Osorio was honored as a Pennsylvania artist of international renown whose artwork and contributions enrich the state and beyond by the Governor and First Lady. Osorio creates large scale, multi-media, socially conscious art installations. He has worked on long term projects that address critical social issues in collaboration with more than 25 communities across the country and the world. Recently, he was in the Fairhill neighborhood of Philadelphia, where, with the help of the community, he relocated an classroom from a closed District of Philadelphia school, transforming it into a living art installation in the Tyler Community Arts classroom.

On Sunday December 3rd, an estimated 600 people came to the Art of Student Teaching Exhibition! This exhibition was organized and curated by Tyler's pre-service art teachers and featured artwork from Philadelphia area K-12 students. At one point, every gallery was filled with students and their families enjoying the artwork and snacking on refreshments. The range of ideas in the lesson plans and the variety of art media demonstrated the inventiveness and the students' ability to explore, experiment and express. The exhibition boldly and proudly told the story of the value of the arts in schools. Thanks to all those who attended and everyone who helped make this semester’s Art of Student Teaching Exhibition a success!
