A gallery of ACCD artists
Thanks to all of you who’ve given me feedback about the ACCD art story, which you can find here. I intend to follow up on this whole thing, for many reasons. ACCD’s an important institution, and a complex one. I’m hoping to learn more about enrollment, history, past and present instructors, and alumni.
I want to get to know Northwest Vista and Northeast Lakeview better. I had a terrific conversation with Tim Jones, the art chair at NW Vista, about his expanding department, and hope to talk to him some more. He even told me they’re looking for a ceramics and a sculpture instructor.
I’ve been e-mailing with Terry Puckett, the first artist brought in to teach an art class at St. Philip’s, who’s giving me some context on some fascinating St. Philip’s history.
And I’m planning to do an interview with Linda Arredondo, currently at Yale and a terrific painter, about how it was to go from San Anto to New Haven.
Furthermore, I hear chisme that a possible ACCD arts faculty summit is in the works, too, and I look forward to hearing more about that. And I most definitely plan on visiting the VATC on the SAC campus for the Visual Arts Faculty exhibition, which opened yesterday and continues until March 20. I’ll write it up after I go.
So look for all that.
And keep in touch, ACCD students, alums, instructors, about developments there, how the colleges affected you, etc. And send me images and I may post them.
