Budding Artists Exhibit Presented at College Art Gallery
The College of the Canyons Art Gallery will present an exhibition entitled “Budding Artists,” consisting of works created by students in the college’s Center for Early Childhood Education. The exhibition will run from Nov. 12 to 26. Admission is free.
The exhibition includes several group projects in painting and sculpture, as well as individual drawings, easel paintings, collages and prints. The artists range in age from toddlers (18 months) to preschoolers (5 years). The Center for Early Childhood Education, COC’s training lab for early childhood education teachers and caregivers, has always encouraged its students to explore diverse kinds of art materials.
Students in the art curriculum set up their own gallery, called “Emerging Talents,” in the childhood center. Cam Valenzuela, director of the center, worked with the gallery director, Joanne Julian, to develop the exhibition, which reflects the enthusiasm and talents of the children.
Families of the student artists and members of the public are invited to attend a special reception at noon Tuesday, Nov. 12 in the gallery. Visitors to the gallery may obtain a parking permit from the vending machine in lot #6 or the south parking lot on the COC campus. This permit will allow parking in any student lot.
Gallery and store hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The gallery is closed Friday, Sunday and holidays. For more information about this exhibition, call (661) 259-7800, Ext. 3612.
