LLCC is featuring select works from the college’s permanent collection through Nov. 1. The exhibit can be viewed in the Trutter Museum/Murray Gallery, located in Menard Hall, on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The exhibit showcases a selection of two-dimensional works. These pieces, which have circulated through LLCC’s campus hallways and offices over the years, are either familiar, newly refreshed or ready to begin a new display rotation once construction in their usual locations is completed. This exhibit offers a brief spotlight for a few of these pieces before they resume their tour across the campus.
The mission of LLCC’s permanent collection is to offer the college and its community a public display of art throughout campus, aimed at broadening visual knowledge, increasing aesthetic awareness and celebrating creativity; to provide students with the opportunity to view, study and appreciate original works of art, focusing on various aspects such as media, technique, aesthetics and style; and to create an aesthetically pleasing environment that enhances both learning and work.
Over the years, the LLCC’s permanent collection has expanded to include artwork created by students and faculty, pieces purchased by the college and generous donations. The collection also now includes a substantial number of pieces from the Trutter family’s donation of art and artifacts.
