The reception includes an awards presentation at 6 p.m. The gallery is open Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We have over 60 art and design students showing work and all visual arts courses will be represented, including drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, metal arts, photography, graphic design, digital painting and vector art,” said Venus Nguyen, assistant professor of art.

The exhibition provides COCC students the opportunity to experience the submission and jury process, and present their artwork in a professional art gallery. Many of the pieces are for sale and 100% of sales go directly to the student.
