Contemporary works in a variety of media including painting,
printmaking, ceramics, graphic design, sculpture, photography, metalsmithing,
and drawing will be shown —from both new and returning faculty. This highly
anticipated exhibition not only allows Parkland students to see the work of
faculty in the Art and Design and Graphic Design departments, but also provides
the college an opportunity to share with the community the work of some of the
talented faculty. The public is invited for refreshments during an exhibit
reception on Thursday, September 3rd from 5 to 7 pm with music by Matthew Watt
and Matthew Hurt. At the artists’ reception, mingle with the art faculty and
learn what has inspired their work.
Craig McMonigal, who will be retiring in January, will be
giving a gallery talk about his work in the exhibition during the reception at
6:30 pm. Craig McMonigal, a Parkland instructor in photography, won the
2015 Illinois Community College Trustees Association Award for Outstanding
Part-time Faculty Member. McMonigal is a 21-year faculty member who has been
praised by colleagues for his commitment to the college, the program, and the
students. One Art and Design colleague says McMonigal is “eager to
accept new responsibilities, helping the Art and Design program, and the
photography degree within the Communication program, to grow by actively
supporting assessment and the development of new curriculum.” Described
as an integral part of Parkland’s Art and Design program, McMonigal developed
new courses in photography, implemented innovative techniques, and worked to
help create the Associate in Applied Science in Photography program. McMonigal
is an active member of the Society for Photographic Education and has served as
the Parkland representative on the Illinois Higher Education Art Association.
