Sandburg College Names Art Gallery in Honor of Sculptor

Carl Sandburg CollegeThe Art Gallery at Carl Sandburg College has been named in honor of a painter and sculptor who has given back to the community.

Officials at Sandburg announced last night, that the gallery will now be called The “Lonnie Eugene Stewart” Gallery–after the artist himself.

Stewart has designed a number of works, including the Carl Sandburg statue which will be placed in Galesburg’s Central Square within the next year.

The announcement came as a surprise yesterday, when Stewart was presenting a bust of Sandburg to members of the college in memory of late author Penelope Niven.
