Paul Rinaldi: Seeing Through Time — Selected Works from a Creative Life, a retrospective exhibition honoring the late Paul Rinaldi, a beloved Prairie State College professor who taught for over twenty-five years.

This exhibition brings together a wide range of Rinaldi’s extraordinary work as a painter, tracing a creative practice that evolved from early figurative imagery to non-objective abstraction. The works reflect his lifelong commitment to experimentation, looking, and transformation, offering insight into an artist who continuously redefined his visual language. The exhibition celebrates not only Rinaldi’s artistic achievements, but also his enduring legacy as a teacher, mentor, and creative force within the Prairie State College community. Faculty are encouraged to visit the exhibition and to share this opportunity with their students. Proceeds from the sales of the work will fund the Rinaldi Family Prize in the Arts Scholarship Fund at Prairie State College.
