The Sinclair Community College Fine Art Faculty Exhibit, which includes work from 24 artists who teach in the Art Department, is on display until Sept. 25 in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle, Hypotenuse and Works on Paper galleries.
The galleries are in Building 13 on the third and fourth floors.
“The Fine Art faculty Exhibition is work by professors that teach in the studios in Sinclair’s Art Department, [which includes] both full-time and adjunct faculty,” Gallery Coordinator Pat McClelland said.
Since there are 10 full-time studio faculty members, those selected are based on a rotation that goes through a 10 year cycle.
“We show work by all the Fine Art faculty,” he said. “But in the Burnell Roberts Triangle Gallery, we feature one particular faculty member.”
Paintings, prints and photography are among the fine art that are in the exhibits.
“Often, professors use it as an opportunity to showcase techniques that they will then be teaching in their studio classes,” McClelland said.
In the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery, Art History Professor Sally Struthers, who is retiring this year, has her work featured.
“Sally Struthers teaches Art History and Art Appreciation, but also is an avid photographer,” McClelland said.
Struthers exhibit includes photography from the places that she has traveled.
“From early childhood, I have been captivated by art, archaeology and mythology,” Struthers said in an Artist’s Statement. “Six times I have travelled to Italy, and twice each to Greece, England and France and have tried to capture, photographically, the sense of awe I feel in legendary places.”
Her exhibit has photos from Ancient Greece and Rome, along with France, Italy and Medieval England.
“This show is divided into Ancient Greece and Rome as you enter the gallery and along the wall to your left,” Struthers said. “And Medieval England, France, Italy and Greece as you walk closer to the windows and along the wall to the right.”
A reception will be held on Thursday, Sept. 12 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and is open to the public.
“There’s a little bit of everything,” McClelland said. “We have some of the part-time faculty that teach in the college for lifelong learning who do very traditional representational work and then there’s conceptual contemporary work by other faculty members — there’s a little something for everybody.”
