Our Call for Art for the Spring Student Art Exhibition, Taboo!, is ongoing this week! Feel free to share with friends and classmates as we would love to feature students from varied disciplines! See the flyer below for more information:
You will find plenty of sketching inspiration at The Museum of Natural and Cultural History this Sunday, February 21st. The JSMAC Sketchbook Collective will meet in the lobby at 11:00.
We all drew from imagination during childhood, taking inspiration from dinosaurs, the creatures in our dreams, or other mysteries of our minds. Give yourself permission to open up your imagination. Maybe you decide to draw a fascinating creature that you already know about, or maybe it’s entirely made up. Why did you give it the features that you did? What does it do? What is its story?

Schnitzer Cinema: Tender Fictions and Maya Deren’s Sink with Barbara Hammer via Skype

Innovative, funny, and historic, Tender Fictions is an autobiographical exploration of the search for and meaning of gay community, featuring a rich montage of home movies, experimental films, news footage, and personal photographs.
