Jeunes Talents 2010 Opens in WeHo

A group show featuring photographs of contemporary French life by American art school students premieres at Louis Stern Fine Arts in West Hollywood this week before moving to galleries in New Orleans and New York.

Jeunes Talents 2010, French Impressions: New Photographic Perspectives was conceived in the spirit of photographer Robert Frank. Eight American art students, including Art Center Photography and Imaging student David Holden Smith, were sent to France to capture the essence of French life and culture with fresh sensibilities, unsullied eyes and new perspectives. The cities of Aix-en-Provence, Arles (where Smith stayed), Marseille and Toulon were among the cities hosting photographers for 10 days.

Art Center is proud to have participated in the exchange program since its inception. To view the results of previous editions of Jeunes Talents visit franceguide.com/jeunestalents or the Jeunes Talents page on Facebook.

Collegiate Field Tournament: Will the Creatives Win?

Who said creatives can’t be athletes, too?

The Rose Bowl will be a colorful and competitive place on Saturday as teams from area colleges compete for the first Pasadena Collegiate Field Tournament Cup. Art Center, CalTech, Pasadena City College (PCC), Fuller Seminary, Le Cordon Bleu and Pacific Oaks College will battle it out for the coveted title. You certainly will want to be there to witness Art Center crush the competition!

Everyone is invited for a day of fun, games and collegiality. Creative challenges such as monster croquet (think giant croquet balls and balloon arches), Frisbee toss, blindfolded flag race and cheeseburger challenge will round out a day that will be as much about bonding among Pasadena’s world-renowned schools as it is about competition.

Festivities will last from 11 am to 2 pm, and are free and open to everyone. Go Orange Dots!
