Faculty at Allan Hancock College will be showcasing their work at the Ann Foxworthy Gallery, located on the school’s Santa Maria campus from Feb. 9 to March 12. There’ll be a reception on Feb. 11 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and the gallery invites community members to attend.
“The exhibition features work by Hancock’s fine arts instructors across multiple disciplines and media, highlighting the depth and diversity of creative practices shaping contemporary art today,” according to press materials.
With varied techniques, media, and approaches, the show highlights strengths of each faculty member, who teach subjects like photography, website design, dance, and drama in Hancock’s creative arts department. In the upcoming show, the pieces give insights to the college’s evolving instruction of contemporary art.
“Our fine arts faculty are accomplished artists and dedicated educators who model what it means to engage with art as a lifelong practice,” Elizabeth Russell, the gallery co-director, said in press materials.
The Ann Foxworthy Gallery is open at no charge Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’s located in building L of the Hancock campus (800 S. College Drive) in Santa Maria.
