MCCC to Open 2015 Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit on Sept 8

West Windsor, N.J. -- The Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) puts its own talented faculty in the spotlight for the "2015 Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit." The show runs from Tuesday, Sept. 8 through Thursday, Sept. 24, with a community reception to be held Wednesday, Sept. 9, 5:30 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 features more than 30 works by full-time and adjunct faculty members, who teach visual arts, photography, advertising design, digital media arts, theater and dance. Participating artists include Michael Chovan-Dalton, pigment inkjet print; Jonathan Conner, painting; Yevgeny Fiks, oil on canvas; Jody Gazenbeek-Person, video performance; Ingrid Jordan, clay; Lucas Kelly, sculpture/painting; Tina LaPlaca, illustration; Terri McNichol, watercolor; Kerri O'Neill, Raku/mixed media; Charles Plohn, photo; Mircea Popescu, mixed media; Kyle Stevenson, oil on canvas; Michael Welliver, Raku; and Nancy C. Zamboni, cyanotype (alternative photography).

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. For updates, directions and other information, visit www.mccc.edu/gallery or www.facebook.com/MCCCgallery.
