PCC Student Art
Where are we Now: PCC Art Student Exhibition 22/23
Where Are We Now, is an opportunity to check in, take stock and remain present amidst the complexities and challenges we all continue to face. To honor all of the students who have been making art in PCC classes this past year, our 3rd annual college-wide Art Student Exhibition invites us to consider where we are now and where we see ourselves going from here.
ZOOM OUT: PCC Art Student Exhibition 21/22
ZOOM OUT, our 2nd Annual college-wide Virtual Art Student Exhibition is an opportunity to consider the many contexts in which art work at PCC was made this past school year. PCC Art students continue to create in a time of great uncertainty. In the context of an ongoing ecological crisis, and our national struggle for civil rights, gender and racial equality, zooming out can allow us to think about how the art we’ve made this past year is part of this larger, global conversation. This exhibition is also an invitation to see ourselves as connected, in our homes, our art studios, our offices and the many other spaces where we create.
