Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) will host an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 14, for SFCC’s annual Student Art Exhibition in the Visual Arts Gallery of the Fine Arts Center, 6401 Richards Avenue. The event, sponsored in part by SFCC Foundation, is free and open to the public.
The exhibition will feature more than 120 works of art created by students in classes offered by the School of Art and Design. The showcase will include a selection of artwork produced by students in the following programs and areas of study: Book Arts, Ceramics, Drawing and Painting, Fiber Arts, Film, Fine Woodworking, Indigenous Pottery, Jewelry, Media Arts, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture (Metal, Stone, Glass) and Santeros (Craft and Tradition).
SFCC Director of Art on Campus Linda Cassel said, “This exhibition highlights the breadth of work created by SFCC students. The show marks the first opportunity for some to exhibit and sell their work in a gallery space.
“The festive opening recognizes SFCC students’ commitment to bringing their creative visions to fruition with the support of SFCC’s talented faculty. The reception also offers an opportunity for community members to engage with the artists and learn about their processes,” Cassel added.
The artwork is juried by department heads with prizes awarded in each area during the reception. Cash awards will be announced at the opening to recognize outstanding artwork in each of the art categories. The awards are sponsored in part by SFCC Foundation.
The Visual Arts Gallery is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except when the college is closed. For more information about the SFCC Student Art Exhibition or the Visual Arts Gallery, contact Director of Art on Campus Linda Cassel via email at linda.cassel@sfcc.edu or call 505-428-1501.
