Sept. 23-Oct. 24, 2019

Reception: Wednesday, Sept. 25, 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Artists turn to many sources as inspiration for their work. Because artists spend so much time observing the world, their sources can come, really, from anywhere. Some artists rely on current events as an inspiration, while others look to history. Throughout the history of art, artists have looked to what is around them in their culture for ideas to investigate in their work. University education encourages cross pollination of ideas across disciplines, allowing artists greater freedom in their exploration.

Reception: Wednesday, Jan. 15, 11:30 a.m..- 2 p.m.

The exhibition Beyond Pedagogy features works in a variety of media from assorted faculty at different Illinois colleges and universities. The impetus behind such an exhibition is for the Prairie State College community to experience works from teaching artists throughout the state. Most, if not all, art faculty produce their own work when not teaching; while available time is always a challenge, these artists continue their creative practice that enhances and enriches their teaching. In most cases, the pedagogy of their teaching practice comes from, in part, their own creative practice that produces insight and deeper understanding of the creative process.
