The creative work by Parkland students in the Art and Design programwas showcased in the Giertz Gallery on Thursday, April 11, during the biannual gallery reception and award ceremony. The main goal of this event was to showcase the amazing work to the community as well as announcing the artwork that had been selected by the Art & Design faculty and the Art Gallery Director to permanently be a part of the Parkland Art Collection. According to the Parkland College website, the chosen artwork will, with the rest of the art collection, “inspire future students and provide a history of the breadth of the program.”
The gallery was filled to its limit with visitors from the community, all excited to enjoy the art and the talent of our cobras. Before the ceremony began, visitors were able to enjoy live music and refreshments. Enjoy these photos taken of some of the artwork as well at the actual event. For anyone interested, it is possible to see all of the artwork until May 4, 2019.
