HFCC's Sisson Art Gallery announced its schedule of art displays for the 2011-2012 academic year.
The gallery presents three shows by professional artists during the fall semester. The fall 2011 semester closes with a one-week 'exit exhibition' devoted to the work of graduating students. The winter 2012 semester features a similar exhibition devoted to students who have finished their studies during this time. This exhibition is followed by the annual all-student exhibition. In the winter 2012 semester, the gallery offers a longer run of a professional artist's exhibition.
During the exhibition weeks, the gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Friday, the gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The following is the 2011-2012 schedule of exhibitions.

'Gumption and Gunpowder' runs from Monday, Oct. 3, to Thursday, Nov. 23. This exhibition features the work of contemporary artist Dave Wisniewski of Toledo, Ohio.
