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 creations on display.

The “Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit 2022” runs through Wednesday, October 19. The community is invited to a reception on Wednesday, September 21 from 5:30 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 Lucas Kelly, MCCC’s gallery director, the faculty show is an opportunity for community members and students to view the work that MCCC professors accomplish when they aren’t working with students.

“There is a distinction between the work we do in the classroom and the work we do out of the classroom,” said Kelly. “This exhibition allows students, colleagues, and community members the opportunity to see the range of content that MCCC faculty are currently investigating in their professional practice.”

The show features 15 works by the college’s full-time and adjunct visual arts faculty members. All exhibited work is current portrays the range of styles and formats present among MCCC’s faculty.

Among the participating faculty members are Michael Chovan-Dalton, Kelly, Yevgeniy Fiks, Kyle Stevenson, and Paul Mordetsky.
