The Art of Presentation

Every year, the Art Department hosts shows at the top of the hill of Pierce College. Monika Del Bosque, Pierce College gallery director and assistant professor of art, teaches Art 519, Exhibition Design. The class provides working knowledge in exhibition lighting, preparation, and installation. The students of this class are given the task of preparing each exhibition. Before the students start setting up their first gallery exhibition, they practice on a mock-up design. This helps the students get a better look at the gallery before handling original works of art. Currently, the students are preparing the gallery for its next exhibition, featuring the works of John Corbeil. The opening reception will take place at the Art Gallery on Nov. 1 from 6 to 9 p.m.
