The annual Carl Sandburg College Student Art Show returns to the Lonnie Eugene Stewart Art Gallery from March 28-May 9, with an opening reception from 5:30-7:30 April 1 in the gallery on Sandburg’s Main Campus in Galesburg, 2400 Tom L. Wilson Blvd. This year marks the first in-person reception for the show since 2019. It was completely virtual in 2020, and patrons were encouraged to view it virtually last year as well because of COVID-19. The juror for this year’s show is 2013 Sandburg graduate Josh Niles. A working artist and instructor at Tidewater Community College in Norfolk, Va., Niles’ work primarily focuses on the investigation of empathy and experience through the lens of color across the landscapes of rural Illinois and the Midwest.
