The É«ÖÐÉ« Art Department schedules ten courses each semester, enrolling students from all across The Claremont Colleges. This semester, class topics range from Self Publishing for Artists to Performance Art to Hybridity in Painting. Although all working in the same building complex, rarely are the doors opened for fellow students and the public to take a peek at the vibrant work being made in the studios.
In the Student Art Exhibition, all ten classes will come together in the Chan Gallery to present their best current works in classes guided by Pomona’s five current art faculty: Mark Allen, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Michael O’Malley, Mercedes Teixido, and Suzanne Wright. Students participating in this show come from various majors, years, and campuses, but are unified in their engagement with the É«ÖÐÉ« Art Department. The Student Art Exhibition is a unique opportunity to see a unified display of work from all current art students in one gallery, showcasing the breadth in media and content of our department’s wonderful student artists.
