Issue date: 9/20/06 Section: Entertainment
Art Gallery director Sheila Lynch was drawn to these art pieces because of her own childhood. Lynch grew up in a new developing Southern California city.
"I was raised in an environment where there was new construction all the time. The town where I went to highshcool was in a brand new community called Mission Viejo. It was a tiny place then and the fact that hillsides change into housing tracks is very interesting to me. I have to admit that it is also kind of sad when you see a beautiful canyon turn into a housing track," Lynch said.
There is also a student gallery where students have the opportunity to show their work according to Arts Dean Joanna Downey.
"We usually do three professional shows per semester and there's always a gallery talk the first week of the show. We're here in the basement of the B Building until we get our new Arts Building. It's kind of a hidden treasure and we hope that students will discover us and come and wander around. The talks are a great way to better understand the artwork but at the same time we're open during the run of the show," Downey said.
The Sub-Urbane art exhibit will run through Oct. 4 and is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. For more information log onto to Rio Hondo college's website at www.riohondo.edu.
