Around the Block IIIÌýfeatures artworks by local artists and is hosted by Giertz Gallery at СÖíÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍøCollege in collaboration with 40 North: Champaign County Arts Council.

Serving as juror for the exhibition is Camille Wilson White, Executive Director of the Oak Park Area Arts Council.

This exhibition is comprised of works of art submitted by artists from our community and reflects the caliber of creative flourish that is present in mid-central Illinois. We're astonished, but not surprised to see the wonderful artwork created during this time. Giertz Gallery is grateful for this opportunity to bring the community together virtually to celebrate the creativity that thrives in our area.Ìý
