Press release from the Middlesex Community College: September 13, 2022 Middlesex Community College provides students with hands-on opportunities to practice their craft – from clinicals and labs, internships and Service-Learning experiences, to performances and art showcases. The works of faculty and students of MCC's Communication, Art & Design programs will be featured in an art show hosted by Lexington Arts & Crafts Society (LexArt), starting on Thursday, September 22. "I think the show benefits the students in finding their true passion in art and motivates them to continue to pursue their purpose," said Erick Maldonado, MCC Professor of Art. "The show is great start for those who are interested in art to visually connect with their teachers." MCC's Art Show will run for a week through Thursday, September 29. A kickoff fundraising event – hosted by the Middlesex Community College Foundation – will take place at LexArt from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 22. "The Middlesex Community College Foundation is grateful to all of our donors for their generous and continuous support of MCC students and the college's mission," said Sherri McCormack, MCC's Dean of Advancement. "We look forward to a wonderful evening celebrating the life and legacy of Robert Cataldo – an MCC advocate for many years – enjoying art and culture, and celebrating the many successes of our students and faculty, hosted by our community partner, LexArt." Donations will benefit the Robert Cataldo Scholarship Fund in support of Lexington students attending Middlesex. The award was established by Cataldo's family, friends and colleagues to honor his commitment to the community and to Middlesex. "My father's mission was to provide everyone the opportunity to have access to a good education," said Jacqueline Fallon, Robert Cataldo's daughter. "My mother loved art and had a hidden talent. I thought this would be a good collaboration to honor both my parents and the college. I also thought it would be a different kind of event for the college."
