The Bosque Gallery’s spring schedule featuring the unique and inspired works of Lone Star College-CyFair and visiting artists also includes the addition of Library Art Talks.
“These talks are an outreach and collaborative enterprise to raise more awareness about our talented student artists, the Bosque Gallery and the Art Department,” said James Campbell, LSC-CyFair Art Department Chair. “The talks will focus on the creative processes of motivation and technical nuance as well as the narrative and aesthetic power of art.”
The Library Art Talks, 20-40 minutes in length set Feb. 8 and March 22, are followed with access to the first two Bosque Gallery exhibitions, including visiting local artist Molly Koehn and LSC-CyFair faculty artist Laura Sprague.
Koehn opens the gallery schedule with her examination of the idealizations of nature in the “blue, the bayou is behind us” exhibition on display Jan. 26-Feb. 23. This contemporary artist and designer is fascinated by urban structure and expansion. Cities, like her homes of Houston and Phoenix, provide constant fuel to her practice.
Next on the schedule will be Sprague’s “Walking Out of Darkness” exhibition March 2-april 13. An art educator for more than three decades, she is a multidisciplinary artist whose artistry is expressed through sculpture and paintings as well as jewelry and glass work.
Highlighting the original work of LSC-CyFair visual art students have completed in their classes, the Student Art Showcase April 27-May 9 includes an awards ceremony and fashion show at the opening reception.
The closing art exhibition features the talent of Bridgeland High School senior artists on display May 18-May 31.
