The Art Department and the Student Government Association sponsor a student-run art organization, appropriately named "The Art Club". The Art Club is open to all majors and sponsors several major events during the year as well as many informal social events and field trips to exhibitions in the area. The club does service work for the community and the college as well. This includes supporting the art program for at-risk children in at the Paul Engle Center and working with the Catherine McAuley Women's Shelter and Center. The Club also sponsors the annual Art Auction, a sale of student and faculty donated artwork sold to support the annual clean up and restoration of the national historic folk art site on campus, The Our Lady of Sorrows Grotto. The Art Club financially sponsors a visual arts section in the PAHA publication of creative writing done by the English Department each year. For our annual High School Art Day the Art Club organizes workshops and pays the honorarium or airfare for a nationally known artist to speak to the 200 High School visitors that come to campus every April for a day. The club also has art department Christmas parties and sales and sponsors an art film festival and an annual tunnel painting competition.
