“OCTAGON”: This mixed media work by Mircea Popescu is featured in the “2019 MCCC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit” on view at The Gallery at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor through October 10. The community is invited to a reception on Wednesday, September 25 from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

The focus is on the faculty at the first art show of the season at The Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC), where the college’s own visual arts faculty members have put their personal works on display.

The “2019 MCCC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit” runs through Thursday, October 10. The community is invited to a reception on Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The MCCC Gallery is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

According to MCCC’s gallery director, Alice K. Thompson, the faculty show is an opportunity for students to view their professors from a different perspective.

“Students will have the opportunity to gain insight into the studio practices of their professors, and make connections with what they are learning in the classroom,” said Thompson. “This is an important part of the learning experience for MCCC students.”

The show features 26 works by the college’s full-time and adjunct visual arts faculty members. All exhibited work is current, produced in the last two years, and portrays the range of styles and formats present among MCCC’s faculty.

Among the participating faculty members are Emily Buchalski, Ryann Casey, Michael Chovan-Dalton, Dave Dimarchi, Yevgeniy Fiks, Meagan Greenberg-Impellizzeri, Lucas Kelly, Tina LaPlaca, Paul Mordetsky, Kerri O’Neill, Mircea Popescu, Lauren Rabinowitz, Kyle Stevenson, Michael Welliver, and Mauro Zamora.
