CLC announces students art winners
Awards were presented to 12 student artists at the opening reception for the College of Lake County's 30th Annual Student Art Exhibition.
Attended by 300 people, the event was held April 15 at the Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art on the CLC Grayslake campus. The exhibit continues until May 14.
All of the artwork in the exhibit was created by students enrolled in painting, drawing, graphic design, photography, ceramics, sculpture and digital media and design courses at CLC, and many of the pieces are for sale.
The exhibit's juror was Ben Dallas, a retired art professor from Harper College, who selected 68 pieces of student art, juried from 199 entries.
The Wright gallery is located next to the Library/Learning Resource Center on the Grayslake Campus, 19351 W. Washington St.
