This exhibition brings together more than a dozen artists who graduated from CCA in 2020, one of the most unusual and consequential years in the school's history.  This show is organized by Graduate Fine Arts Associate Professor Glen Helfand and Katherine Jemima Hamilton (MA Visual and Critical Studies and MA Curatorial Practice 2022).

For this exciting, new approach to an invitational exhibition, many of the talented artists who have shown at the Brea Gallery over the last few years are welcomed back to fill the space with fresh, new mixed media works on paper.

Satri Pencak recommends Through Her Eyes, a multicultural Women’s Figurative show exploring the many depictions of women in relation to themselves and those around them.

Rise Art, an online gallery for Contemporary Art based in London, UK, highlights Works on Paper, a collection of drawings, prints and paintings, all made with or on paper. Ranging from small-scale still life pieces, to vast mixed-media collages, the collection showcases work from some of the newest artists on the platform, as well as their more established artists.
