The Art Gallery at Collin College will host the Annual Collin College Art Faculty Exhibition from Aug. 26-Sept. 13. A reception will be held from 4-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

The annual exhibition features artworks by art professors in the Fine Arts Division of Collin College. The diversity of media and styles makes this show a unique opportunity for students to learn about art courses offered at Collin, and for the public to view what the professors create in their own studios. Art courses offered at Collin include 2-D design, 3-D design, ceramics, communication design, digital arts, drawing, figure drawing, jewelry/art metals, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and watercolor.

The gallery is located on Collin College’s Plano Campus, Room A175, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway in Plano. Gallery hours are: 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Monday-Thursday; and 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Friday.
