Lecture by guest Curator John Rosewall
Friday March 14th, at 5 p.m in the Cuesta College Art Gallery

Opening Reception 6pm-8pm
San Luis Obispo Campus

Cuesta College Art Gallery presents, “Thirteen: Photographers from Southern California,” a compelling multi-artist exhibit surveying the diversity of practices among contemporary photographers. These practices include traditional and experimental techniques ranging from Polaroids, photograms and scanned images to electron microscopes. Using both color and black and white formats, these artists capture images containing alien Antarctic landscapes, surreal sinking ships, suburban nightscapes and the mood of motion. These artists employ a variety of stylistic strategies, encompassing sequences of juxtaposed images, the touch and vitality of gesture, color-drenched abstraction, introspective photo documentation, and photographic diaries and essays.

Join the exhibition curator, John Rosewall, for a talk Friday March 14th, at 5 p.m in the Cuesta College Art Gallery, with a reception for the artists to follow, from 6pm to 8pm. The gallery is located at Cuesta College, just north of San Luis Obispo on Highway One. The hours are 11am to 4pm Monday–Friday. (805) 546-3102

Such exhibitions shall be either historical or contemporary in content, and reflect the educational goals of the Fine Arts Department.

The Wicked-step gallery presents work by currently enrolled Cuesta students'.

Exhibition Screenings

Exhibition screenings take place twice a year and are planned by the Art GalleryDirector. Artists wishing to be considered for inclusion in future group or solo exhibitions should send a current vitae, artist statement, and visual documentation appropriate for the media, 35mm slides mounted in plastic or cardboard (no glass slides), CD-ROM, DVD, or VHS, (URLs are not acceptable) with a SASE for return of material, to the attention of Tim Anderson, Art Gallery Director by March 15th or November 15th of each year.

Deadlines

The deadlines for submissions are March 15th and November 15th of each year. Proposals from professionals, student artists, and others will be accepted throughout the year and reviewed after each deadline. Artists are notified within 2 months following the March and November deadlines.

Selection Policy

The Art Gallery and the department of Fine Arts do not exercise censorship in the selection of exhibitions. Artworks that have not been subject to Federal or State prohibition are not excluded from the gallery on moral, political, racial, religious, sexist language or other sensitive grounds alone. Nor should artworks be included on these grounds alone, whatever pressure is brought to bear by groups or individual.
