The Central Oregon Community College (COCC) Art and Design Club is proud to present the annual Student Art Exhibition, now through June 7 in Pence Hall’s Pinckney Gallery, with an opening reception from 4:30-7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29. The reception includes an awards presentation at 6 p.m. The gallery is open Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Fridays from noon to 2 p.m.

Many mediums will be on display, including drawings, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, metal arts, photography and graphic design. The exhibition provides students with 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. Each year, artwork is selected for inclusion in COCC’s permanent collection, as determined by the college’s faculty forum.
