Parkland Art & Design Faculty Exhibition Reception

Approximately 20 faculty studio artists in various media are participating in this year’s exhibition. Art enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy the versatility of the works on display, which mirrors the broad spectrum of art courses available at Parkland College. Participating artists include Louis Ballard, Chris Berti, Kiley Reed Black, Lisa Costello, Marsha Daniels, Jennifer Davis, Judy Dethmers, Larry Ecker, Stacey Gross, John Havlik, Bryan Heaton, Steven Hudson, Jamie Kruidenier, Robert Laible, Melinda McIntosh, Craig McMonigal, Laura O’Donnell, Denise Seif, Peggy Shaw, Phil Smith, Joan Stolz, Wendy VanderNoordaa, Matthew Watt, Kelly White, and Paul Young.

The annual art exhibit, which runs through September 18, features works by Parkland’s own Fine and Applied Arts department faculty in Art and Design, in sculpture, photography, metals, wood, oil, watercolor, digital media, ceramics, and other media.

In celebration of exhibit artists, a reception, with live music by The Dynamic Duo, will be held on Thursday, August 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gallery lounge. This reception allows the public to mingle with the artists and also features a talk by Chris Berti about his work at 7 p.m.

As always, the exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
