Thirteen artists were selected for the College’s 2022 Community Arts Collection including photography instructor John Glembin. His proposal for the collection consists of creating photographs of his students using the wet-plate collodion process. A technique created in 1851 that requires the use of chemicals, glass plates and a darkroom. The works of all artists selected for 2022 will be unveiled in the Fall. Read more about Glembin and the other artists selected for the Community Arts Collection in the upcoming print edition of the MATC Times.
