For Del Mar College (DMC) Art Program faculty, they not only teach art but also live it through their own chosen mediums and creativity. Some of the finest artwork produced in Corpus Christi comes from DMC’s faculty with the Art & Drama Department, and this Friday, Sept. 18, art aficionados can view their work during a free opening reception for the program’s fall exhibit in Cain Gallery––the “Del Mar Art Faculty Art Show.”
It's a real privilege to work alongside faculty who are not only excellent educators but also professional artists in their own right. This exhibition really honors and celebrates the success of our talented faculty.
The Sept. 18 reception runs 6 to 8 p.m. in the Joseph A. Cain Memorial Art Gallery located on the first floor of the Fine Arts Center on Windward Campus (101 Baldwin Blvd., 78404). Get online directions and a campus map. The free event includes hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
For more details about the reception and the exhibit, contact the DMC Art Office at 361-698-1216 or art@delmar.edu.
Visitors can experience the dynamic work of Loring Baker, Kalleen Chilcote, Kerstin Dale, Nate Ditzler, David Fuentes, Amorette Garza-Morales, Diana Peña, Elena “Rodz” Rodriguez and Mike Stephens. Several pieces among faculty members’ work will be available for purchase during the opening reception and throughout the show for patrons wanting to add to their own art collections.
The free exhibit runs through Wednesday, Nov. 18. Public viewing is Mondays through Thursdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment on Fridays.
Rodriguez added, “I hope the community comes out to see the show and join us for the opening reception. It’s going to be a fun evening, and it’s a great opportunity to see the work our faculty are creating outside of the classroom.”
