Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) Art Galleries are showcasing four new exhibitions this fall, including the 53rd Annual Art Faculty Exhibition. The exhibitions will run from Monday, Sept. 2 to Thursday, Sept. 26 at various locations on the Dandini Campus. An opening artists’ reception is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 4, from 5–7 p.m. at the V. James Eardley Student Center and Red Mountain Gallery on the third floor of the Red Mountain Building.
The TMCC Main Gallery will feature the 53rd Annual TMCC Art Faculty Exhibition. This year’s show includes large-scale artworks and diverse art mediums, providing an immersive experience that highlights the faculty's artistic expression.
“The Annual Faculty Art Show has been a beacon of creative exploration and innovation at Truckee Meadows Community College for over half a century,” said Kyle Karrasch, Art Galleries Curator. “This 53rd exhibition presents a stunning array of large-scale installations and diverse two-dimensional artworks.”
The Red Mountain Gallery will host "Nature Eats Image" by Susanna Herrmann, a painter, photographer, and professor of graphic design at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah. Herrmann’s work explores visual perception influenced by space and landscape.
“This artist’s work is a profound exploration of orientation," Karrasch noted.
The Erik Lauritzen Gallery will feature "Inside Out: Reno Chamber Orchestra and TMCC Art 101 Drawing I Students Collaboration." This collaboration involved TMCC students creating artwork inspired by emotions that were then paired with musical compositions from classical composers like G.F. Handel and Vivaldi during RCO Inside-Out performances in April 2024.
“The Inside Out collaboration between Truckee Meadows Community College and the Reno Chamber Orchestra exemplifies the powerful synergy between visual art and music,” stated Karrasch.
Additionally, the Red Mountain Student Gallery will present "Monsters" by Crowley Foster and Gwyneth Crowes. This exhibit showcases imaginative creatures brought to life through bold experimentation in painting.
“In Monsters," said Karrasch, "Crowley Foster and Gwyneth Crowes bring a vibrant and imaginative world to life where each creature tells its unique story.”
