The CCC Art Student Show will feature a juried selection of work created by art students who have taken art courses throughout the 2024-2025 academic year and the 2023-2024 academic year, in courses such as graphic design, basic design, drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, and printmaking. The art faculty includes Ben Rosenberg (Printmaking), David Homer (Photography and Graphic Design), Brad Menninga (Ceramics), and Kristin Shauck (Drawing, Painting, and Basic Design).
This year’s guest juror is Lâm Quảng. Originally from Vietnam, he began making paper in the late 1990s, eventually developing a practice centered around sculptural lamp forms inspired by childhood memories of moon festivals. In 1998, he opened HiiH Gallery in Portland’s Alberta Arts District. His work is currently exhibited at Imogen Gallery in Astoria, and HiiH Lights, his creative studio, is located on a two-acre homestead between Astoria and Seaside, Oregon.
The 2025 Art Student Show is a dynamic and engaging showcase of emerging talent, with work thoughtfully chosen by this year’s juror, and highlights the diverse creative voices of our student artists. We look forward to welcoming the community to the Royal Nebeker Gallery to share in this celebration of artistic expression and student achievement.
