Past, Present, Future: Visual Arts Faculty at Bergen Community College is an exhibition celebrating the artwork of current and past full-time and adjunct Visual Arts faculty from the beginning of the college’s history 50 years ago to the present day. Featuring the woodcut “Flight,” 1967, by Harper T. Phillips (1928—1988), the first faculty member in the Visual Arts department, as well as painting, video, digital prints, photographs, and fashion design, the exhibition shows the wide range of media and conceptual underpinnings undertaken by the professional artists that have taught at or are currently teaching at the college.
In addition to artworks, a selection of publications by Art History faculty will also be on view. A digital slideshow of images of faculty, artwork and art courses offered from yearbooks and catalogs from the early years of Bergen Community College, as well as images of the college’s current classes in Visual Art and Fashion Design will be on continual display.
