Where Are We Now, С»Æ贫ý’s 3rd Annual college-wide art student exhibition represents the community’s first opportunity to see new student art made across the С»Æ贫ý District in person, in one of С»Æ贫ý’s four art galleries.
The exhibition provides an opportunity for the college and our communities to reflect on what we have experienced and collaborated on this past year, while also considering where and how we want to move together into the future.
Where Are We Now, is an opportunity to check in, take stock and remain present amidst the complexities and challenges we all continue to face. To honor all of the students who have been making art in С»Æ贫ý classes this past year, our 3rd annual college-wide Art Student Exhibition invites us to consider where we are now and where we see ourselves going from here.
