An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 1, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the LCC Art Teaching Gallery located on the Fort McIntosh Campus. Admission is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served during the reception.
"This will be the time our students will showcase their art to the public," said Dale Short, LCC Art Department chair."We'll be featuring various media of art works that our students produced in the spring semester."
"These types of student art exhibits validate our students' efforts to be creative and showcase their art to their families, friends and fellow colleagues," Short added. "Not only does the exhibit reflect the students' talent, but also the teaching strengths from our art instructors."
This year, various art forms will be on display, including drawings, paintings, two- and three-dimensional art, photography, digital art, print making, art metals, ceramics and several sculptures.
Short added that these types of shows are very popular with the community.
"In the past several shows, we've seen as many as 500 members from Laredo and surrounding areas join us during the opening reception," Short said. "This will be another great exhibit."
Each art work will display the student's name, type of art medium used and major.
The art exhibit will be on display at the gallery until Sept. 23. Viewing hours are from Monday through Thursday from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 to 11:30 a.m.
