The first gallery of the 2017-18 academic year at Carl Sandburg College will showcase the works of Cathie Crawford from Aug. 28-Oct. 15, with an opening reception Sept. 8.

Crawford’s “Bliss of Being: 30 Years of Woodcuts” will be featured in the Lonnie Eugene Stewart Art Gallery, located in Building D on the Main Campus in Galesburg, 2400 Tom L.
