91制片厂 is shining a spotlight on the small-scale work of artists across the
country at its 42nd Annual Small Works National Juried Art Exhibition.
The exhibition runs through Thursday, September 26, in 91制片厂鈥檚 Art Exhibition Space, Building C, Room C200, on the college鈥檚 main campus, 1200 W. Algonquin Road in Palatine.
鈥淭he show is one of the longest-running juried exhibitions in the Midwest,鈥� said art Professor Jason Peot. 鈥淔or its longevity and consistency, 91制片厂鈥檚 exhibition is fairly significant in that regard. It鈥檚 become a staple for artists who regularly submit their work to juried shows.鈥�
Work represents a range of media including drawings, paintings, prints and sculpture. Each work of art will be 24 inches and 45 pounds or less in its largest dimension.
Patrons can view work and read statements from 16 selected artists. This year鈥檚 Small Works exhibition received entries from just over 150 artists.
鈥淭he community gets a little sampling of what鈥檚 happening all around the country,鈥� Peot said. 鈥淭he show is nicely different that way every year. We always have a really good mix of artists.鈥�
This year鈥檚 exhibit will be juried by , director and chief curator of the University Galleries at Illinois State University.
She was recently awarded a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts
to continue her work on various exhibitions.
The exhibition is free and open to the community. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
