After years of refining their craft at Long Beach State, graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts students will get the opportunity to present their photographic and painted works during a week-long exhibition.
The Long Beach State School of Arts will be hosting the “Revelations” exhibition from Dec. 1 to Dec. 4 at the West Max L. Gatov Gallery located in the Fine Arts 2 building.
Attendees can expect to view four exhibitions featuring work from a variety of students, including Emilia Perez’s “Holding on to Smoke” exhibition.
The piece “utilizes ceramic material to create objects and sculptures varying in scale to explore themes of time, transformation, place and belonging through aesthetics of optimism, gesture, and scale.”
Other exhibitions include Monica Meza’s “Sanctuary of Judgment,” which will focus on the Catholic concepts of fate and judgment. Ahtani Nelson will also be displaying her animated work “The Recasting,” which focuses on Black representation.
An opening reception for the show was held on Nov. 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibitions will remain on display from Monday through Thursday from noon to 5 p.m.
