GALESBURG — Carl Sandburg College’s first art show of the 2021-22 academic year — and first fully in-person show since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic — will feature the works of 15 artists from Aug. 30-Sept. 27 in the Lonnie Eugene Stewart Art Gallery.
An opening reception for RSVP: Artists Featuring Artists will take place from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 10 in the gallery located in Building D on Sandburg’s Main Campus in Galesburg, 2400 Tom L. Wilson Blvd. Both the show and reception are free and open to the public. Those in attendance will be required to wear a mask and fill out a brief health screening survey upon entry.
Sandburg art program coordinator Lisa Walker initially invited two artists to be part of the show. She directed each of them to invite another artist and so on with each one who chose to participate. Artists had to RSVP by a specific date to have their work showcased. The chain of invitations led to these 15 artists being featured in the upcoming show:

John Heinzman
Pat Whalen Keck
