Welcome to the Ball of the Season: Art Ball 2024

 


My Friend with her Sculpture Costume

Welcome to the ball of the season! Art Ball this year was a huge success with many festivities celebrating the art students and faculty along with the celebration of the ASL building. As a new art building is soon to be fully made, we celebrate the history of ASL and represent sculpture, ceramics, and painting/drawing students. There were so many amazing works displayed and yummy foods. As an art student, I was able to display my own works in the ASL building and showcase my studio loft space with more works of mine. Two of the upper-division classes, Experimental Painting and Drawing and Advanced Painting had the opportunity to show the public what we had been working on all semester. The seniors showcased their final paintings at the Else and Witt gallery for the Senior Show. The sculpture students had the honor of parading through Sac State campus with a live band with the costumes they made for their final projects. This was my first time attending Art Ball and I had such a great time with my fellow colleagues and congratulating the graduates.


My Artwork is displayed in my Studio Loft
Being able to have more of my works displayed in my studio and having people be invited into the space where I work most of the time was a surreal moment for me. This was when I truly felt like an artist.

Senior Show

The senior show was just amazing with the amount of diverse works of all the hardworking artists I know. It's sad to see these graduates go, but they did so well, it made me excited for my own senior show soon!

The ceramics students are such a big loving community and witnessing their works of objects that can be used was so fascinating. The sculpture class created so many different costumes, one of my very good friends made fun costumes that needed some help with during the parade. I was happy to be a part of the experience.

It's one thing to see other people's work displayed, but it's another thing to see your own work being placed next to other great artists. It definitely showed my hard work through the process of setting it all up and having others observe and admire it. It felt very celebratory.

These loft mates have been very welcoming towards me when I first got a studio space earlier this semester. they are what made my experience this semester so positive and fun. It's sad to see some of the graduating seniors in this picture go, but I know I can always look back at this picture and reminisce about the great memories we have made together with all the difficult and hard assignments we've gone through together.

  Master's of Fine Arts Studio Art Candidate Exhibition 2024; Sloane Cabrera, Ngan Nguyen, Kathy Page  A mixture of oil paintings, monotype prints, and installations, Master's art candidates Sloane Cabrera, Nan Nguyen, and Kathy page showcase a variety of amazing works to represent what they have been working on so far in this program. I was honored to be able to see each of the works in person, up-close and observing the hard work each of the MFA art students put in.  Sloane Cabrera, an MFA student who's concentration is on painting and drawing created a series of works that each involve a triptych outlook. Her paintings are said to be "existing between the irrational and the rational," Cabrera says. Her artistic practice revolves around creating paintings that idealize time, memory, and the inevitability of death. Through these ideas, her works takes her viewers into another realm consisting of dreamlike scenery, experiences, and memories that all include animal...
