The paintings of Jill Ziccardi will be on display at Monmouth College in the Len G. Everett Gallery from Feb. 21 through March 24.

An artist’s reception and public lecture will be held March 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the gallery, which is located on the upper level of Hewes Library. Currently, Ziccardi is teaching an Internet course to Monmouth senior art students, and her March visit will give her a chance to meet her students, who will submit their final projects at that time.

Ziccardi’s exhibit is entitled "Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice: Issues and Artwork on What We Call Women." Her exhibit and appearance will help the college celebrate Women’s History Month.

The artist received her bachelor of fine arts from Carnegie Mellon University and her master of fine arts from the The School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Ziccardi lives in Chicago and is involved in various teaching projects throughout the city, including one for parents and children who normally wouldn’t spend time in the Art Institute.

The Len G. Everett Gallery is open during regular library hours. There is no charge for admission.
