The Helzer Gallery Featured Artist Program is a series of virtual programming created to introduce the audience to the work and creative practice of various artists. The first featured artist is former PCC student Marjorie Dial, who works from Portland and North Carolina. Her interest in a career as an artist and ceramicist began after taking several ceramics classes at Rock Creek with art faculty Micki Skudlarczyk.
