Dear Friends, Get inspired by City of Irvine spring exhibitions at the Great Park Gallery, City Hall, and Irvine Fine Arts Center. On view February 11 through May 4 at the Great Park Gallery is Natural Language: Contemporary Book Art which explores how artist books interpret form and nature in thought-provoking ways. The exhibition is curated in collaboration with University California Irvine Special Collections. On view April 8 through May 24 at City Hall is the annual High School Art Exhibition which celebrates the creative achievements of young artists working in a variety of media. This year’s exhibition is guest juried by Marissa Sykes, Director of Arts Education at Angel’s Gate Cultural Center, and an accomplished cross-genre conceptual artist and arts educator. Throughout the galleries at the Fine Arts Center you’ll see compelling photographic-based works in Reencuentros: Seeing You Again ; the exhibition is on view March 2 through May 18. The exhibit features the work of eight emerging artists whose photography explores ideas of home, place, and family and was curated by award-winning artist and arts educator William Camargo, whose work has been published in The New Yorker , Aperture , and The New York Times. Spring quarter brings new and community favorite studio classes to the Irvine Fine Arts Center. Adult ceramic and jewelry courses, along with summer youth arts and culinary camps are heavily impacted, so we encourage you to review this quarter’s course schedule in advance and be prepared early for when morning registration opens.
