Brian Culbertson is a part-time instructor with PCC’s Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) program, which was established in 2009. He became one of the program’s first graduates in 2013 and went on to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Fine Art Photography with honors from ECU.
Charity Valentine, AFA coordinator and Culbertson’s supervisor, nominated Culbertson for his alumni award, calling him a “talented artist” and noting the “critical” role he’s played in the AFA program’s growth. She first met Culbertson in 2011, when he enrolled in one of her photography courses.
“When (Brian) … took that very first photography class almost a decade ago, it changed the trajectory of his future,” Valentine said. “He became a part of our community, and I cannot tell you the joy it brings me to see him telling his story to students and encouraging them to keep going.”
