Painting students from Santa Monica College are expanding the boundaries of their immediate community by participating in an exhibition entitled “Sense of Place: Chinatown, Los Angeles California”.
In an effort to broaden cultural awareness in the greater Los Angeles area, students in instructor John Zarcone’s painting class at Santa Monica College were asked to communicate the identity of a very specific neighborhood, L.A.’s Chinatown, by creating several representational oil paintings. The results will be on view at the Chinatown Heritage Center from June 6th-July 18th 2009.
There will be an opening reception for the artists on Saturday June 6th from 6 to 9 P.M. Students and faculty are invited to attend. Students and faculty are also encouraged to attend Chinatown Art-night, July 11th 6-9PM, when most of Chinatown’s art galleries will be open to the public for night time viewing.
Chinatown Heritage Center: 411 Bernard St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.
Hours: Wednesday-Friday 11 AM – 3 PM, Sunday 12 – 4:30 PM.
I would like to see a continuation of discussions on this topic.
