Student Art Collections
The Parkland Student Art Collection consists of over 350 artworks in a variety of media. Beginning in 1971, Parkland has committed to annually purchasing several artworks from the Art and Design Student Juried Exhibition. These artworks created by currently enrolled students are selected by the Art & Design faculty and the Art Gallery Director to become a permanent part of the Parkland Art Collection, inspiring future students and providing a history of the breadth of the program. These works are intended for all to enjoy, and many are exhibited in public areas of the College.
Foundation Art
The Parkland Foundation Collection consists of works of art donated to Parkland College, including drawings, paintings, photography, sculpture, and prints. A part of this collection comprises several larger artworks obtained through the State of Illinois Art in Architecture Program, with works by Chris Berti, Jack Ekstrom, Peter Fagan, Don Lake, and Jason Peot.
