The Chan Gallery's alumni exhibition, titled Lush Matter, displayed works by six artists who graduated from 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú in the past twenty years. These artists have continued their artistic practice since graduation, contributing to the art world through creating new works, teaching, exhibiting, or pursuing further arts-related education.
The reception included gallery talks by LA-based artists Becca Lofchie and Tristan Marsh, who discussed their creative processes and sources of inspiration. They also interacted with art majors, students enrolled in art classes, and other attendees, fostering an engaging environment during this time.
The exhibition's impact extended beyond the gallery walls, thanks to the dedicated communications team at 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú. Their efforts ensured that the event was featured in the monthly newsletter and the triannual 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Magazine, bringing the artists' works to a broader audience. It was gratifying to see the exhibition highlighted in these various formats, allowing it to resonate meaningfully with the community.
