St. Clair County Community College’s annual faculty art showcase, “Collectively Independent” is now open for exploration in the SC4 Fine Arts Gallery.
Now in its sixth consecutive year, the showcase features thought-provoking pieces on various subject matter in a wide array of mediums. Each piece on display is an original work from faculty members who lead courses in graphic design, art history, photography and more.
“This annual exhibit is an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the very talented art and design faculty here at SC4,” says Sarah Flatter, professor of fine arts. “This exhibit is one of my favorites, because it gives faculty members the opportunity to show off their talents to a wider audience. It is a great show of work and worth checking out!”
From sculptures and photographs to custom-designed skateboard decks and beer labels, the exhibit offers a unique opportunity for SC4 students to observe the artistic interests and expertise of the instructors who interact with them every day.
“This exhibit displays just how skilled and well-qualified our faculty members are,” Says Celeste Skalnek, director of college, cultural and alumni relations. “I think it shows our students and community the level of artistic ability these instructors bring to the classroom as experts in their fields.”
“Collectively Independent” runs until Nov. 12 and is free and open to the public.
