Faculty and staff artists across LLCC’s district…we want you!
Is pottery your pastime? How about drawing with pen, ink, charcoal or even crayon? Then share what inspires you by entering your artwork in LLCC’s 2017 “On My Own Time” art show!
LLCC’s in-house exhibit this year will be featured in the Trutter Museum. A local architect, Phil Trutter was truly an “On My Own Time” pioneer, experimenting with printmaking, etchings, jewelry making, sculpture, painting and more. A few pieces of Mr. Trutter’s own artwork will also be shown.
Last year’s show featured entries from faculty and staff across LLCC’s district. Talent abounds here at LLCC, and this unique Springfield Area Arts Council program offers individual artists the opportunity to display original work truly created on their own time. There are 12 artwork categories in which to enter your art. View the detailed list as well as the rules:
Your $5 fee per entry assists the arts council with program costs. So get creative! Artwork and registration fees should be submitted by Wednesday, Sept. 6.
Please contact us with any questions.
