Echoes of Now - Art 143 Capstone Exhibition

Presented by the Art Galley

Presenting Echoes of Now, the 2026 Professional Practices Art 143 capstone exhibition at the Saddleback Art Gallery. This dynamic exhibition brings together the talents of 19 emerging visual arts students, each offering a unique perspective shaped by their individual experiences, disciplines, and creative voices. Spanning a wide range of media, including drawing, painting, ceramics, jewelry, fashion, and mixed media, their works are as diverse as the artists themselves. Echoes of Now is more than a showcase; this exhibition represents a pivotal moment in the artists’ journeys as they step into the professional world, sharing their visions with a broader audience. Join us as we celebrate the visual reverberations of these emerging artists.

Don't miss the opening reception, where you can enjoy light refreshments with our art students and faculty.
