The Associated Artists of Cal U will host a student art show beginning with a reception at 5 p.m. Dec. 9 in the Vulcan Gallery, on the first floor of Vulcan Hall.
“Through the Bend of the Breeze” will feature the artwork of Cal U senior Valerie Herrero, a member of the University Honors Program and a fine arts major who recently completed an internship at the Georgia O’Keefe Museum in Santa Fe, N.M.
The exhibition will be on display from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays through Jan. 10.
The show consists primarily of drawings, but it also will feature installation drawings and small sculptural works.
Herrero’s mixed-media drawings and installations investigate the fleeting nature and intricacy of sensory experience. They include various elements abstracted from nature, including insects, plants, and human life.
The reception from 5-8 p.m. Dec. 9 will include culinary delights, poetry and live music. Admission to the Vulcan Gallery is free, and the public may attend.
