Salt Lake Community College recently held its 2015 President’s Art Show opening reception at South City Campus’ Center for Arts and Media, giving
out $4,500 for top prizes.
Rob Adamson, a professor in SLCC’s Visual Art and Design
department, won $1,500 and Best in Show for his oil painting “Union Pacific
Station.” Lori McPherson won $1,000 and the President’s Award for her trace
monotype print “Clustering Sea Horse Eggs.” Steven Sheffield won the Community
Award and $1,000 for his acrylic crayon and graphite on panel piece called
“Up.” The second and third Runner Up prizes, each worth $500, were awarded to
Ryan Moffett for his ceramic and electrical hardware piece called “Disconnect”
and Ed Browning’s mixed media entry “Orbicular.” SLCC President Deneece G.
Huftalin chose Madison Donnelly’s $750 wood piece “Wig and Stand” as the 2015
President’s Purchase.
The popular show is a celebration of local artists and the
power of art to bring together people from across the community. Derived from
more than 230 submissions this year, this latest exhibition showcases a wide
range of talented and promising professional and amateur artists using their
talents and skills in a variety of mediums. Many of the works are for sale and
are on public display in the Multipurpose Room at SLCC’s Center for Arts and
Media until November 13.
