Art & Design Student Juried Exhibition

  • Monday, April 8–Saturday, May 4, 2019
  • Reception: Thursday, April 11, 5:30–7:30 pm
    Musical performance by the Parkland Guitar Ensemble
    Awards Ceremony at 6:30 pm

Audiences will enjoy an impressive body of student work in photography, painting, drawing, metals, sculpture, three-dimensional design, two-dimensional design, color theory, and ceramics. Parkland Art and Design faculty will select approximately 180 works from among 350+ entries for this year's exhibit. Students taking art classes in the current academic year, beginning with summer 2018, were eligible to submit artwork.

As students who plan on a profession in the arts begin their career path at Parkland College, this exhibition allows them to showcase their extensive talent as well as the exploration processes they have experienced throughout their studies in art and design, according to Giertz Gallery Director Lisa Costello.

The awards ceremony  will recognize students whose artwork shows remarkable distinction.
