WSUV offers summer art exhibits
Cuba as captured by Luz Maria Gordillo, WSU Vancouver The art galleries at Washington State University have put up new exhibits for the summer. Travel photography, hand-made books and an eclectic collection of alumni art are ready for public viewing. An artists' reception will be held 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 28. A collection of color photographs taken by WSU Vancouver staff members while working with the University of Havana and the Instituto Superior de Arte in Cuba is on display in the Administration Building gallery through September. "Visions of Cuba" reflects on the memories and sensibilities of the delegation from WSU Vancouver. Artists featured in the exhibit include José Alamillo, Hal Dengerink, Luz Maria Gordillo and Brian McNeill. An exhibit of artist-made books is on display in the Washington State University Vancouver Library through Aug. 20. The juried exhibit includes nine artists from Washington and Oregon The first showing of strictly WSU alumni-created art is on exhibit in the Engineering and Life Sciences Building through Aug. 26. The artwork includes abstract and figurative images, large paintings, small, intimate photos and quilting fiber arts. The variety
of media and themes shows the diversity of the WSU alumni. There
is a 50-year difference in the graduation dates of these alumni
and a world of different perspectives. The common thread among
the artists is shared community. Each artist has maintained a
connection to WSU and is part of the Vancouver community. For more
