Gallery hours: 10 AM-5 PM
This show is free and everyone is invited

Work on view will include photographs by students in classes taught by Debi Milligan and Archy LaSalle; ceramic pieces from a class taught by John Gould; drawings from the Foundations of Art: Self-Portraits class taught by Elizabeth Menges; and jewelry created by students of Bianca Hegre.

Ms. Menges says about her class, “All portraits were drawn by students in graphite from photograph or mirror. This was the most challenging project for them because it involved a high level of technical skill and forced them to draw what they saw instead of using the symbols in their head. This amount of analysis and close observation helped them notice the beautiful eccentricities of each of their faces, and created a new level of comfort with themselves and their drawing abilities.”
