Two gallery shows top off the 2017-18 school year
April 18, 2018 — OLYMPIA, Wash. The Gallery at South Puget Sound Community College is proud wrap up the 2017-18 school year with two outstanding shows highlighting student success in art and collaboration.

Collaboration Installation: Confined / Found
Visiting artist Erin Shigaki, a Seattle-based graphic designer and mixed media artist, and SPSCC art students will collaborate to reflect on the Japanese American internment camps. The project is inspired by Shigaki’s family history and pilgrimages to internment sites. Students will study artists who deal with confinement in their work, such as Takuichi Fujii, Roger Shimomura, and Kara Walker. Together, they will explore ways in which Japanese American artists in the camps created art out of modest and found objects to defy the soul-crushing physical and emotional conditions. The project will culminate in an array of chromatic banners cut from recycled sheets, symbolic of freedom and solidarity.  Community, students, staff, and faculty are invited to join the free reception.
