The public will get a preview at the new home for the Galesburg Community Arts Center, formerly the Galesburg Civic Arts Center, Friday night at their new home in the Odd Fellows Building on the corner of Seminary and Main Streets in Galesburg. The opening ceremony for the "Hard Hat" exhibition will be held Friday evening from 5:00 - 7:00 at the Odd Fellows building as renovations have been underway to turn the former Galesburg Antique Mall into a collaborative arts center. Exhibitions of recent works by Art Center members and friends living within 50 miles of the Art Center will be on display through November 27. The member and friends show will include paintings, fiber, sculptures, photography, metalwork, stained glass, and more from over 65 artists. This year's juror is Tyler Hennings of Macomb. He will award $850 in cash prizes. Hennings is the director of the Western Illinois University Gallery. He received his BFA from WIU and his MFA from Northern Illinois University. He's been exhibiting regularly since 1998, receiving several awards and honors for his pieces. In addition, in what will eventually become the Blick Gallery, the work of three GHS students – Bryar Townsend, Victoria Pettet, and Jacob Sims-Wetterow – will celebrate, albeit belated, National Arts in Education Week, their work will be on display through Dec 17. Music will also be provided for the exhibition by Combo. There is no admission fee. Masks will be required. Regular hours for the Galesburg Community Arts Center, formerly known as the Galesburg Civic Art Center, are Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 – 6:00 pm.
