Every student deserves a chance to show his or her talent—especially when that talent is great. Each year, Allan Hancock College’s Fine Arts department does just that with its annual Fine Arts Student Art Show, showcasing juried items of exceptional quality created by students for display.
This year, more than 120 works in various media, created by art students, will be on display in the Ann Foxworthy Gallery on the Santa Maria campus.
The show gives students a chance to shine and provides the community with an opportunity to see what the next generation of artists has to offer. Find sculptures, paintings, pastels, graphic designs, photographs, and more.

Pieces like Roseanne Korpela’s Voodoo Chair take the ordinary and infuse it with colorful creative punch. Natalie Adams’ porcelain sculpture shows the level of talent the student artist possesses in each wave and swirl.
The exhibit not only shows off current talent at the college, but works to inspire other students. It also helps kick off the semester, providing new students with inspiration. The pieces on display were selected for their variety and creativity in December by instructors.
