Young Artist Alcove:
Jocelyn Villanueva
February 2, - April 5, 2020
Artist statement: "What I like to create in ceramics are things that can catch someone's attention, I take inspiration from the things I grew up watching, I like making these things because I can have them as decorations in my house. What inspires me to make my artwork is anything that catches my attention or something that I find interesting and would like to make it in my own way. Another thing that helps me get inspired is reminiscing about my childhood or things I would do in my childhood. I love to use clay because I find it very relaxing and enjoy the process of making it. Another media I like to use is drawing, it's more of a hobby for me."
Through April 5, 2020

Time for Trees
Selections from CCMA’s Collections
January 16 - May 24, 2020
We all enjoy the visual beauty of trees. But what else do trees do for us? They clean our air, provide us with oxygen, reduce the effects of climate change, help clean our drinking water, and provide a source of energy. Celebrate the beauty and benefits of Trees with artworks from our collection.
