The Parkland Art Gallery proudly announces our annual Art and Design Student Juried Exhibition, which is on display in the gallery through April 30. Students, faculty, and the public can see the strength and quality of the artwork chosen, demonstrating tenacity and commitment, and revealing the development of critical thinking and visual perception.
The exhibition is comprised of works produced in our Art and Design classes within the last year. Members of the art faculty select works for the exhibit from approximately 400 submissions. It is an opportunity for the college to recognize and support student artistic work, celebrate the recent accomplishments of these artists, and illustrate the wide range of media explored while taking classes in these programs. Students artwork on display from Photography, Painting, Drawing, Digital Imaging, Metals, Sculpture, Three-Dimensional Design, Two-Dimensional Design, Color Theory, and Ceramics courses.
This exhibition serves as an excellent visual record and each exhibiting artist has created artwork worth seeing. The exhibit also publicly acknowledges the accomplishments made by these talented, dedicated, and hard-working students. A reception honoring the participants was held on Thursday, April 14 from 6-8 p.m. in the gallery lounge. The receptions included refreshments and live music from Parkland College’s guitar assumable.
