Claremont Art Walk returns on Saturday, Sept. 5 with a lineup of shows, including an exhibition by lecturer Gina Lawson Egan with fellow sculptor and friend Lydia Tijoe Hall at Studio C Gallery.
(Safety precautions will be in place, said Art Walk organizers.)
The works in Ebb and Flow, Egan said, "echo our common threads both artistically and personally. We believe great artwork comes through perseverance, introspection, repetition, and simply showing up — much the same as the foundation of our friendship. These vignettes are our reflections on life’s Ebbs and Flows."

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
L.A. Forum's first all-digital newsletter reflects on the first six months of 2020, and the changing nature of architecture and urban design in the turmoil of the overlapping crises of social and racial reckoning, a global pandemic and climate change.
"The voices included here ask the extent to which our efforts as designers are compromised by institutionalized presumption," wrote editors.
One of those voices is lecturer Nina Briggs, who wrote about her Spring 2020 studio, SHADEscapes — an investigation of "the current discourse around shade creation as a symbol to offset global warming and to create ecologically and culturally sustainable public spaces." Read her article here.
