The wide-ranging show includes sculpture, painting, photography and multi-media works, all by the University’s art education and studio art professors and lecturers. “The art department has always been blessed with a tremendous amount of talent,” says gallery director Phil Hitchcock.

That department-wide excellence is evident in the more than 30 works in the show. Michael Riegel’s sculpture Wind Sailor depicts motion frozen in time, Joan Moment’s painting Ladle strikes the eye with form and color and Rachel Clarke’s multi-media Machine Inside is a flowing mystery. These and other works highlight the CSUS art department’s tradition of achievement.

The show will be up until March 12. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.
