LYCEUM EVENTS

In 2002, through the generous donation from the Switzer - Reilly Families, life was breathed into the vision of a regional arts center finding its home on the campus of PJC.

In keeping with this vision, an annual event, the distinguished artist series, was developed to host a nationally recognized artist, to visit this campus and work with out students, and faculty while being and open free to the public.

This year we are honored to feature, 
Jing Zhou.
