About
The Kristi Phippen Art Gallery
The Gallery is OPEN 7:30 to 4:00 Monday through Friday.
The Kristi Phippen Art Gallery is in the front entrance to Central Catholic High School. It is dedicated to the memory of Kristi Phippen, one of the school's brightest students. The gallery now houses a permanent collection of alumni and faculty work, while the main hallway is used to exhibit a different professional artist's work every six weeks.
Current Exhibition - Central Catholic Christmas Cards
The Kristi Phippen Art Gallery is joyously celebrating the artistry of Central Catholic students, past and present in the form of annual Christmas cards.
The Christmas Card Project was designed to offer a Central Catholic student the opportunity to take a creative idea from a draft to the final product. Each year one of our art students is hand picked by the head of the department to work with me on the development of our card. The artist not only has the opportunity to pick the paper and the appropriate font, but they also choose the best colors as the card comes off the press. As you can see we have been blessed with generous donations and support that enable us to complete the Christmas card each year. Thank you to Parks Printing, Joan and Hugh Hart, Central. Catholic Foundation, Mrs. Padula, Mrs. Vance, and all the teachers that allowed the students to miss their class while working on our cards.
