The Clatsop Community College Royal Nebeker Art Gallery will open its 2017/2018 exhibition season with a two-person show entitled Body Politic:  Contemporary, Classical Drawings by Ghislaine Fremaux and Henk Pander. Both artists were selected to exhibit in the 2017 international Au Naturel competition by juror Daniel Duford, a highly respected practicing artist and writer currently serving as Visiting Associate Professor of Art at Reed College.  Pander and Fremeaux were also chosen by the art department faculty to receive the coveted prize of an award show.

The new mission of the college reads: “Enriching Lives, Inspiring Learning, Creating Opportunities” and is partnered with the vision of: “As a leader in education, Clatsop Community College will partner with the community in creating gateways for transformation.”
