About the Gallery

The Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art is a major cultural resource for artists and Lake County residents alike. Established by the College of Lake County Foundation in 1981, the mission of the gallery is to promote understanding and the appreciation of the arts within the College of Lake County campuses and in the surrounding communities through exhibitions that contribute to education and cultural enrichment while engaging the college community in learning opportunities and supporting cultural and artistic diversity.

Exhibitions

The Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art presents multiple exhibits throughout the year, three of which feature Lake County artists. The fall season features Recent Works, a juried competition for area artists with cash awards and purchase prizes. January offers a group exhibit open to all Artist Members of the gallery. The CLC Student Art Competition in the spring provides a venue for college art students to professionally display and possibly sell their works. Other exhibits throughout the year include critically acclaimed artists whose diverse expressions create the opportunity to broaden and perhaps even challenge the community at large.
