MCCC Gallery Opens New Season with Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit Aug. 28 to Sept. 28

A work by ceramicist Michael Welliver is among the pieces featured in the “2017 MCCC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit,” on display at the Mercer County Community College Gallery from Aug. 28 to Sept. 28

West Windsor, N.J. – The Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) puts its own talented faculty in the spotlight for the “2017 MCCC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit.”  The show runs from Monday, Sept. 28 through Thursday, Sept. 28. The community is invited to an opening reception on Wednesday, Aug. 30 from 5 to 7 p.m.  The Gallery is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

The show will feature approximately 20 works by full-time and adjunct faculty members. The programs represented in the exhibit include Visual Arts, Photography and Digital Imaging, Advertising/Graphic Design, Ceramics, and Digital Media Arts.

Among the participating faculty members Michael Chovan-Dalton, Ingrid Jordan, Lucas Kelly, Jared Kramer, Tina LaPlaca, Paul Mordetsky, Kerri O'Neill, Mircea Popescu, Lauren Rabinowitz, Rachel Stern, Kyle Stevenson, Michael Welliver and Mauro Zamora.

According to Gallery Director Lucas Kelly, MCCC Professor of Fine Arts, the faculty show is an opportunity for students to see the fruits of their professors’ studio practice.

“Professors maintain their professional practice while also working with students in the classroom. Both parts of this duality inform each other. Seldom does a professor's studio work enter the classroom, but it is their experience that moves the curriculum forward. The faculty show offers the students a chance to pull back that veil and see how their professors solve the problem of art-making in contemporary culture,” Kelly said.

Gallery hours for this show are Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

MCCC Gallery Director Dylan Wolfe is looking forward to opening the doors of the Gallery for a new season and especially pleased to invite the community, as well as students, to view works by MCCC faculty. “The work that has been selected reflects the range and depth of our professors, and reminds us that while all work hard in the classroom to shape the next generation of artists, they are professional artists in their own right.  In his or her way, each is contributing to the contemporary art and culture scene in Central New Jersey and far beyond,” Wolfe said.

Gallery hours for this show are Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
