LLCC art student wins AARP Illinois Disrupt Disparities Art Contest
Wilma Wofford, LLCC art student, was recently selected as the winner of AARP’s Illinois Disrupt Disparities Art Contest. She credits her LLCC art professors. The article from the AARP website states: “Wofford didn’t start making art until after she retired and enrolled in art courses at Lincoln Land Community College, and she says she owes her success to her talented instructors. ‘I got started a bit late, so now I just want to make all the art I can make while I’m on this Earth.'”

Reception for Anderson’s “elemental” today, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The public is invited to attend a reception for the exhibit “elemental,” which will be held tomorrow, Aug. 22, 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the James S. Murray Gallery. The exhibit features mixed media paintings by Laura Anderson, LLCC assistant professor of art, and is on display weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Sept. 12.
Anderson’s work is inspired by the natural world, including its complexities, commonalities, mysteries and working processes. “We are part of nature, yet we’re set apart from it in many ways,” she explains. “My work explores the intersection of this duality, often via drawn or painted natural imagery combined with collaged artifacts and urban landscapes that reflect the man-made world.
