Adjunct art professor Connie Wolfe was selected through a juried competition to be a gallery artist for the Chicago Artists Coalition Gallery. She is one of 14 new Coalition Gallery artists for the 2010-11 year.

The gallery will introduce the 14 artists at its first exhibition of the year, "Bright New Talent." An opening reception will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1. The exhibit continues through Friday, Nov. 5.

Ranging in age, experience, education, global origin, and point of view, Coalition Gallery artists create works that vary widely in content, media and process. As diverse as the artists are, they are all emerging artists and presently call Chicago home. The 13 other artists are:

• Adrienne Pike
  Bernell Loeb
  Brad Nugent
  Bryan Boomershine
  Christie Helm
  Dimitri Pavlotsky
  Jori Foreman
  Kevin Wisor
  Nathalie Gribinski
  Robin Dluzen
  Sarah Rehmer
  Shawn Stucky
  Zach Mory (formerly taught at Carthage)
