Spring Student Art (2020)

Art Space Gallery is excited to present the 2020 Student Art Exhibition online for the first time.

Every spring, Fresno City College students enrolled in an art course are invited to submit their work to be considered for the annual Student Art Exhibition. This year, in according with safe physical distancing practices, the exhibition moved to an online submissions format, and was juried by FCC Art Faculty via Zoom. Over 70 works of art were submitted: work by 27 students was selected for the exhibition. The show was then installed and photographed by Art Space Gallery curator Elena Harvey Collins. The quality of work submitted by FCC students is always very high, and this year was no exception, despite the very difficult circumstances. Thank you to our amazing students for sharing your beautiful work with us. We hope you enjoy these installation views of the exhibition.
