ARC Student Show 2020
Welcome to Kaneko Gallery's Annual ARC Student Competition 2020. We are proud to present this online exhibition of art work from the many talented students at American River College. Kaneko Gallery has followed a decades long tradition of hosting the Student Competition Exhibition at the end of every spring semester. Despite the move to an entirely online campus due to the current pandemic, we at Kaneko Gallery decided that this exhibition was much too important to cancel or postpone. We were thrilled to receive approximately 160 pieces by more than 80 entrants. We present this exhibition to you here. Please enjoy your visit to our online Student Competition Exhibition 2020.
I would like to acknowledge and send out a special thank you to Brad Carps, Patrick Beech, Jade Jacobs, and Kaitlyn Berry--the amazing Kaneko Gallery interns who made this exhibition possible.
