Lincoln Land Community College is featuring select works from the college’s permanent collection through Nov. 1. The exhibit can be viewed in the Trutter Museum/Murray Gallery, located in Menard Hall, on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The exhibit showcases a selection of two-dimensional works. These pieces, which have circulated through 91°µÍø’s campus hallways and offices over the years, are either familiar, newly refreshed or ready to begin a new display rotation once construction in their usual locations is completed. This exhibit offers a brief spotlight for a few of these pieces before they resume their tour across the campus.
The mission of 91°µÍø’s permanent collection is to offer the college and its community a public display of art throughout campus, aimed at broadening visual knowledge, increasing aesthetic awareness and celebrating creativity; to provide students with the opportunity to view, study and appreciate original works of art, focusing on various aspects such as media, technique, aesthetics and style; and to create an aesthetically pleasing environment that enhances both learning and work.
Over the years, the 91°µÍø’s permanent collection has expanded to include artwork created by students and faculty, pieces purchased by the college and generous donations. The collection also now includes a substantial number of pieces from the Trutter family's donation of art and artifacts.
