(Making Memories by Shasta Ortwein)
The Pence Pinckney Gallery at Central Oregon Community College (COCC) is exhibiting a range of student work from the Arts, Media and Technology program at Oregon State University – Cascades, now through March 4.
The exhibition — defined as “storytelling within our digital landscape” — includes a range of image-based practices, including conceptual imagery, video performance and stop-motion animation. Sixteen students have artwork on display. The gallery is open 10am to 4pm, Monday to Thursday, and from 10am to 2pm on Fridays.
“I reached out to art faculty at OSU-Cascades in December and they happily accepted my invitation for a show for their students,” explained assistant art professor Venus Nguyen of the collaboration. COCC has traditionally hosted the annual Central Oregon Scholastic Art Awards program each February, an event that celebrates budding artists at the middle school and high school levels. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, that event required a larger venue this year.
