Lewis University Art Exhibition Spotlights Homer Glen Student

An area art exhibit featuring work from artists throughout the U.S. highlights several Southland students, one of whom hails from Homer Glen.

Local Ryan Nakutis was part of a Thursday evening reception that kicked off the Lewis University Department of Art and Design's Senior Capstone Exhibition.

The biannual show coincides with the department's most inclusive art-related course and undertaking. The program tasks graduating students with putting their newly acquired skills and understanding the test by participating in a professional exhibition experience, according to a press release.

Joining Nakutis in doing so were: Sandra Zuchara, of Romeoville; Montana Clasby, of Cedar Falls, Iowa; Megan Nguyen, of Peoria; Briana Reidy, of Darien; Brianna Richards, of Tinley Park; and Jessica Tennant, of Burr Ridge.

The free exhibit is open to the public and will be on display daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. through May 16. Be sure to visit The Brent and Jean Wadsworth Family Gallery, located on Lewis University’s main campus in Romeoville before it's too late!
