The Western Illinois University Art Gallery is currently featuring two exhibits that are much different from one another.
“I love it when the schedule works out to exhibit shows that are very different to offer some contrast,” said Gallery Director Tyler Hennings.
“We want to provide a variety of work for students and for the community. There are not a lot of places around the area to see art in person so that’s part of the vision – to bring in a variety of work.”
The downstairs gallery is featuring the works of Bruce Walters. The drawings are from his 36 years as an art professor. He has spent the last two dozen years at Western.
