The Olin Art gallery is showing our very own professor Carolina Alamilla. She is a visiting assistant professor of the Olin art department here at Washington & Jefferson College. Her artwork in the Gallery is called “Space Swim”. To bring this idea to life she uses bright and playful colors to fill the space. Her art shows use objects that no longer have a function. She uses these objects to convey her message thought her art.

The talk and show were supposed to be on February 4 but have been moved to February 25. This was due to the bad whether we had on that day. The show will be held in the Olin art gallery from 6:00- 7:30. The Artist talks begin at 6:30 there will be some snacks and drink all of which is free. During the show, you may ask questions take pictures and maybe even find out something you did not know about Olin and its art department! So come down to the Olin Art Gallery see her amazing art and here her talk.

W&J’s art shows are generally free for all W&J students, in contrast to the entrance fees that some outside and other professional art galleries may have. This is a somewhat rare opportunity for W&J students and staff to enjoy art from a member of our own community and is an extremely accessible way to enjoy art and interact with others interested in abstract and artistic concepts. Given the interdisciplinary mindset W&J fosters in the classroom, this is a great way to expand our thinking and find connections between Alamilla’s art and our own majors, experiences, and ways of thinking.
