Art Graduates Offer ‘Untold’ Exhibition
Thirteen graduating art majors offer their capstone art projects, which include oil paintings, drawings, collages, digital illustrations, sculptural installations, prints, photographs, videos and stop-motion animation from April 8- May 8 at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. See “Untold: Westmont Graduate Exhibition 2021” online at westmont.edu/museum/untold. Find information at westmont.edu/museum about making an appointment to see the exhibit in person.
“Despite the challenges of working under pandemic restrictions, this senior class has created an impressive collective body of work for their senior exhibition,” says Scott Anderson, professor of art and senior project adviser. “The works display a range of interests, from stewardship of the environment to personal narratives, and some comment directly on the moment we’re living in. These student visions have as yet been untold, and the art department faculty are proud and excited to celebrate them with this exhibition showcasing their efforts.”
The artists include Val Angulo, Corban Bañez, Emily Bark, Rachel Elliott, Sophia Gutierrez, Sharon Ko, Elisabeth Lee, Madeline Lush, Ceci M. Amboy, Daniel Staples, Evelyn Thoen, Charlotte Westburg and Caroline Wyckoff.
Ken Jewesson, a local artist and former head of two prestigious art schools, and his wife, Francie, sponsor the show.
The Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art is accepting entries through April 15 from local artists for “At The Edges: Tri-County Juried Exhibition,” which will open virtually on May 20. This year’s juror is Marcos Ramirez ERRE, a Tijuana-born artist whose work addresses issues of identity, race and immigration.
