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.

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:Creative Interventions: Catherine Provenzano
DESCRIPTION:Since the shift to predominantly digital audio recording\, manufacturers of software tools have stepped in claiming to make production work faster and easier while unlocking the artist/producer’s creative potential. In 2016\, artist Justin Bieber explained to the New York Times Magazine that the way producers Diplo and Skrillex were able to manipulate Ableton on his hit Where Are Ü Now resulted in what he affirmatively coined as “expensive-sounding sounds.” More recent messaging around sounds that “stand out” is surging as most major music software outfits roll out new AI tools meant to do everything from automate the engineer’s vocal chain to help the artist quickly find and tailor samples. \nRefusing to take these claims at face value\, this talk will consider several songs\, advertisements\, and demonstration videos from the last 25 years and ask\, what makes a technology “creative” in practice? And under what conditions? \nThis presentation is an interactive listening exercise that brings together conceptions of creative musical production and interrogates the ways software designers lay claim to and promise creativity. Participants are encouraged to assemble examples from their own listening and creative lives and present them for group discussion. \nThis event is presented as part of the Creative Interventions (CI) Series and is co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Creative Technologies program and Porter College at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UCSC affiliates.\n– This is an online event.\n– Registration is required here.\n—\nADVISORIES\n– Participants are encouraged to assemble examples from their own listening and creative lives and be prepared to present them for group discussion during this interactive online event.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Event dates to be announced throughout the 2025-26 academic year.\n– Learn more about the Creative Intervention Series here.\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nCreative Interventions addresses the interconnected work of artists\, designers\, activists\, and knowledge workers—and the intrinsic and transformative capacity of that work to cultivate a just society. More information about the Creative Technologies program.\n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law.

SUMMARY:Respond\, Don't React: Recognizing and Managing Emotional Triggers
DESCRIPTION:In a world of nonstop change and pressure\, even the most experienced professionals get triggered in ways that throw us off course—hurting performance and straining relationships. In this presentation by the Silicon Valley chapter of the NHRA\, we’ll explore what’s really happening when emotions take over\, why it matters\, and what we can do about it. Through real stories\, group discussion\, and practical tools\, you’ll learn how to spot your own triggers\, make space to respond instead of react\, and better support others in the process. These tools aren’t just for managing stress—they help build trust\, empathy\, and stronger teams. You’ll walk away with simple strategies you can use right away for tough conversations\, conflict\, or just when everything feels like a little too much – both personally and professionally. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n• Spot the signs—learn to recognize how your body and brain react when you’re emotionally triggered. \n• Get curious about cognitive blind spots—where might triggers be getting in the way of how we show up and lead? \n• Build our ability to pause\, regroup\, and respond instead of react. \n• Walk away with simple tools to better support yourself and create more space and trust for others\, too. \nAGENDA \n5:30 PM IN-PERSON NETWORKING (dinner included) \n6:00 PM VIRTUAL SESSION BEGINS \n6:05 PM LEGAL UPDATES \n6:15 PM PROGRAM \n7:15 PM Q&A \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jeff Jacobs\nJeff is a recognized leadership development and organizational effectiveness executive who has facilitated and consulted on 500+ engagements over the past 10 years as an employee of top-tier companies like Adobe and Intuit.

SUMMARY:Yoga as Healing Series
DESCRIPTION:Yoga as Healing is an offering for students at UC Santa Cruz who identify as survivors of interpersonal violence. Together\, we will practice gentle body movement\, breathwork\, meditation\, and more—all from a trauma-informed lens. \nThis 7-week program is limited to 8–10 participants in each cohort and is intended to provide a safe and predictable environment for survivors to build community. \nAt the beginning of each session\, participants will have time to share their progress and personal experiences with the class. This will be followed by asana practice (physical postures)\, and the class will close with journaling\, art\, and reflection. \nCARE will provide yoga mats\, blocks\, and a blanket for each participant. You are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle for hydration. \nParticipants are welcome to join Yoga as Healing for any of the sessions; attendance at the orientation is not required. The sessions run from October 7 through November 25\, with no session on November 11. \nThis event is open to all UC Santa Cruz students. Fill out an interest form to sign up.
