Two new exhibits open on October 19 at the Illinois Central College art galleries, located on the East Peoria Campus.
An opening reception from noon to 2 pm for all will fragment, an exhibit featuring drawings and paintings by Peoria-based artist Bethany Carlson, takes place in Gallery 336B, located in the Academic Building.
In addition, a veterans' art exhibit featuring works by military veterans from the area opens at noon in the ICC Performing Arts Center Gallery, located in the lobby of the facility. The event is the first show in what is hoped to be an annual exhibit featuring works of art by faculty, student and community military veterans. A reception for this exhibit will take place November 9 from 5 to 9 pm in the gallery.
