Each year, Central Piedmont Community College’s Visual Arts Department hosts the Annual Juried Student Art Show, recognizing student works in ceramics, 2D and 3D design, drawing, jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture.
Students who have works featured in the show receive a variety of awards, ranging from the Presidential Purchase Award; Foundation Purchase Award; first, second, and third place awards; along with a variety of others. Each year, select student artwork is chosen for this celebratory exhibition to showcase our Visual Arts students’ work completed in their studio classes.
The juror for this year’s Student Show is Marge Loudon Moody. Moody is a Professor Emerita of Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC where she taught for over 30 years. Widely exhibited both nationally and internationally Moody’s work exists in private and public collections worldwide. Currently, the Bill and Patty Gorelick Galleries at Levine Campus in Matthews host a selection of Moody’s work from her new exhibition ‘Intangible Words.’ ‘Intangible Words’ broadly investigates environments inspired by Moody’s travels and imaginations. Through the use of bright colors, abstract forms and continuous reworking of the composition, Moody creates the “essential” feeling of certain environments.

Featuring Central Piedmont Students and Staff
Cato Campus (Cato 3): January 1 – May 7
Levine Campus (Levine 2): May 13 – July 26

In a joint effort between the Central Piedmont Archives and Art Galleries, students and staff came together to recreate photographs from the Central Piedmont Archives. Using the photographs as inspiration, each participant artistically reimagined a selected photograph using any media of their choice.
The Gorelick Galleries will exhibit this collection of works on Cato, Levine and Central Campuses as part of a traveling exhibition series. With an emphasis on College history and student engagement the exhibition celebrates the some of the best moments in the College’s history and in turn shines the spotlight back on students.

The Bill and Patty Gorelick Galleries at Central Piedmont Community College are pleased to announce a new exhibition by Marge Loudon Moody. Moody is a Professor Emerita of Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC where she taught for over 30 years. Widely exhibited both nationally and internationally Moody’s work exists in private and public collections worldwide.
‘Intangible Words’ broadly investigates environments inspired by Moody’s travels and imaginations. Through the use of bright colors, abstract forms and continuous reworking of the composition, Moody creates the “essential” feeling of certain environments. Non-representational imagery utilizes the “essential” nature in order to illuminate the unseen or intangible spirit of the subject. “Subject matter may serve as metaphor for intangible ideas. The work examines boundaries, addresses the fragility of existence, of presence, of absence, and of memory,” says Moody.
Moody will also serve as this year’s Juror for Central Piedmont’s ‘2024 Annual Juried Student Art Show.’

Traveling Exhibition Dates
Central Campus (North Classroom): January 1 – May 7
Cato Campus (Cato 3): May 13 – July 26
Levine Campus (Levine 2): August 5 – December 31
The Bill and Patty Gorelick Galleries will travel a special exhibition of Tina Alberni’s artwork between Central, Cato and Levine Campuses for the 2024 academic year.
Alberni derives this series of work from impact of climate change and the harm created by aspects of technological development and progress. With a deep belief that all living things possess and intrinsic value and not simply human beings, Alberni challenges the viewer to consider topics such as how natural disasters, war and social disparity contribute to the endangerment and physical displacement of all living things.
Alberni uses her new exhibition ‘Fragments’ to illustrate the narrative of fragmented lives and irreversible damage both visually and physically. In contrast to the hopeless narrative of destruction, Alberni seeks to use her artwork to create a positive, hopeful spirit for the future. Alberni assembles objects and layers in her work in a brightly colored, harmonious fashion, which invites the viewer in for a deeper contemplation of each composition.
Alberni’s work will be on display at Central Piedmont for 2024 and will be part of the Gorelick Gallery’s traveling artwork series.

A Journey Through Life
Jodi Lynn McNeely
Exhibition Dates
Harper Campus: Now through December 2023
This series has been several years in the making. As you inspect each piece of work, look for the ‘path’. It represents our journey. We all are on our own journey, have our own story. As I talk to folks about their stories, I’m amazed at how similar our experiences can be. Our life events, whether the same or different can cultivate preparedness in each of us in much the same way. Note that each individual person carved into my works of art is either touching the path or connected to someone who is. If they are extremely close, they share a hand or foot. Staying connected to someone is critical in this thing called life.
As I travel through life, I am constantly reminded at how important being connected is. This is especially relevant during the rough times. Establishing strong relationships for me has been an essential part of my journey. I often carve the likeness of folks I know or have met on my journey into my work. Do you see yourself? I am constantly reminded of how important the people around me are. My life has been full of heart break, pure joy and everything in between. Sound familiar? I am determined to learn from the heart break, remember the pure joy and live everything in between to the fullest.
