 Faculty Exhibition 

— Exhibition runs February 4th -March 17th , 2026 | Reception on Tuesday, March 3rd, 6-8 pm 

North Central College presents Faculty Perspectives, a curated exhibition featuring recent work by the College’s studio art faculty. This exhibition highlights the diverse creative practices, research interests, and conceptual approaches that inform faculty teaching and scholarship.

The works on view span multiple media and reflect personal, social, and material investigations developed through professional studio practice. Together, the exhibition offers students and the broader community insight into how contemporary artists think, experiment, and communicate ideas through visual form.

Faculty Perspectives reinforces the connection between teaching and making, positioning the gallery as a shared space for learning, dialogue, and artistic exchange.

Please join us for this extraordinary artists.
