CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) — Fairmont State University photography students are getting to see their work presented in a gallery at the Mtn Craft Film Festival this week, an achievement that their professor hopes will give them real-world experience and confidence in their work.

Fairmont State University Associate Professor Jared Tadlock said that the film festival — which is being held this weekend at the Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center in Clarksburg — reached out to Fairmont State to suggest a gallery space at the venue displaying work by the students, something to which Tadlock was very excited to agree.
