SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Sesnon Salon: History of Art & Visual Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Division welcome students\, faculty\, staff\, and the general community to a salon-style gathering presenting the work of UC Santa Cruz’s History of Art and Visual Culture (HAVC) Department. \nAssistant Professor Clementine Bordeaux\, an enrolled member of the Sičáŋǧu Lakóta Nation (Rosebud Sioux Tribe)\, grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation (South Dakota). Bordeaux received her Ph.D. in Culture and Performance from the World Arts and Cultures/Dance Department at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She works across multi- and interdisciplinary fields and collaborates with artists\, cultural bearers\, and community activists\, and employs Lakota concepts of ikčé\, the everyday\, and ingenuity\, to illustrate a continuum of Očéti Šakówiŋ artistic engagements. \nThis presentation offers a brief overview of her research\, which methodologically and theoretically utilizes relationality as the primary tool to communicate the interrelatedness of Lakota kinship values\, a cultural connection to other-than-human beings\, and creative practice\, as demonstrated through storytelling\, poetry\, and material culture. \nThe event will take place outdoors by the Porter Koi Pond. Light refreshments will be served. \n—\nADMISSION\nFree and open to the public.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nOct 16: History of Art and Visual Culture Department\nNov 20: Music Department \nJan 15: Art Department\nFeb 19: Film and Digital Media Department \nApril 16: Creative Technologies\nMay 21: Department of Performance\, Play & Design \n—\nPARKING\nLot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event.\nParking via permit or ParkMobile.\nSee TAPS for parking information. \n— \nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law.
