The Parkland Art Gallery proudly announces the Parkland College Traveling Art and Design Exhibition, on display at The Art Coop from May 20 through June 26 and, in modified version, at the Champaign County Nursing Home from July 17 through September 9. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
A reception for participating artists will be held at The Art Coop on Friday, May 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana. A Sunday afternoon reception will also be held at the Champaign County Nursing Home from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on July 17. The receptions are also free to the public.
Comprised of works produced in Parkland Art and Design classes within the last year, this traveling exhibit was originally part of the Parkland College Art and Design Student Juried Exhibition; these works were selected for inclusion due to their exceptional strength and variety. Art Gallery Director Lisa Costello said the traveling exhibit affords the gallery “an opportunity to be able to bring the artwork to locations around the community for people who might not otherwise be able to come to our campus.”
“The Art Coop has had a long tradition of supporting artists by providing quality art supplies in the area, and the exhibition space that they have created in their new store is a wonderful venue in which to highlight our student artwork,” Costello said. “We are also looking forward to having the show travel to the Champaign County Nursing Home.”
This exhibit also allows Parkland to recognize, support, and celebrate its most recent student artistic accomplishments and to illustrate the wide range of media explored while taking courses in Photography, Painting, Drawing, Metals, Sculpture, Three-Dimensional Design, Two-Dimensional Design, Color Theory, and Ceramics.
Laura Reiss of Champaign, a participating student artist, says she is looking forward to being involved in the exhibit because her grandmother is a CCNH resident. “I was thrilled to get an award, and I am really pleased that my grandma will be able to see the work in person,” Reiss said.
Other participating artists include Ray Arseneau (Champaign), Marilyn Blanzy (Champaign), Jill Bullington (Urbana), Christy Camarca (Savoy), Jamal Carter (Champaign), Nathan Cooper (Champaign), Kirbi Eckerty (Monticello), Hannah Eisenmann (Champaign), Shawn Fairchild (Champaign), Christopher Faller (Champaign), Boston Fleener (Farmer City), Divina M.
