The Arts Center Gallery will host an illustration invitational entitled "Good Work!" that highlights the favorite work of some of the country's top commercial illustrators. Simultaneously, the Colacino Gallery at Nazareth College Arts Center will host "Design in the Working World: The Alumni Graphic Design Exhibit," a showing of their best work by Nazareth College Department of Art Graphics and Illustration alumni.
