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 gallery is committed to displaying the works of Illinois artists and increasing the visibility of nationally known artists in Lake County. The gallery promotes tours and educational programs in conjunction with its exhibitions.
The Artcetera Gallery and Sales Shop adjacent to the main gallery space is also featured on this page. The spaces are adjacent to one another and mutually support the interests of local and national artists.
Exhibitions
The Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art presents eight exhibits throughout the year, three of which feature Lake County artists. The fall season starts with Recent Works, a juried competition for Lake County 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. Five 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.
Talks and Art Walks
Gallery Talks are guided tours of current gallery exhibitions. Art Walks are campus walking tours of CLC Art Collection Highlights. Both Tours last about 45 minutes. Tours are available free-of-charge to groups of children and adults. We recommend that you schedule your group tour at least three weeks in advance by writing to the Art Gallery Curator or calling (847) 543-2240.
