Muñoz Participates in Art Exchange

The exhibit LA Artcore Artists, including work by alumnus and faculty member Ramone Muñoz, opens this week in Bakersfield. Part of an “art exchange,” the first show, featuring L.A. artists, will hold an opening reception Oct. 15 at Bakersfield College’s Wylie and May Louise Jones Gallery. Next year, Bakersfield artists will exhibit at the Artcore Brewery Annex in downtown Los Angeles.

Bakersfield Express has a nice write-up previewing the show as well as an interview with Muñoz.

Ceramics Virtuoso Celebrates 95th

There’s an interesting article on ceramist Harrison McIntosh FINE ’36 in today’s L.A. Times. He is celebrating his 95th birthday with a retrospective exhibition at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona. McIntosh studied at Art Center in the ’30s, when we were located in downtown Los Angeles. He is known as “a virtuoso of pure, gracefully handmade objects that represent the classical vein of Southern California’s postwar crafts movement in museum collections around the world.”

The exhibition runs through Jan. 9, 2010.
