  • REVERENCE & lucky number 13: triskaidekaphobia

    APR 27 – MAY 20, 2026

    RECEPTION: Tuesday May 5 at 2:30

    Reverence (ART 271) – “Reverence”, a term meaning to treat with deep respect, has been something historically overlooked when displaying cultural art objects in American institutions. With intentional efforts to not continue colonial methods of showing art, MiraCosta is excited to present a show curated by our Art 271 class, titled “Reverence”.

    “Reverence” showcases art objects from around the globe, allowing viewers to experience and learn about our planet’s past and current cultural diversity. Artworks include pottery from México, wood carvings from India, statues from Africa, and masks from Papua New Guinea, which will be featured alongside written descriptions of what was discovered through research by our 271 Curators.

    Lucky Number 13: TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA (ART 295) – This exhibition is the capstone project of the Visual Art/Professional Practice (Art 295) course, featuring a stunning collection of original works by art majors who honed their skills in studio courses offered by the Art Department. Students collaboratively oversee all aspects of the exhibition, from exhibition, curation & design, installation, and publicity; demonstrating their engagement with the gallery systems process and their readiness for professional creative endeavors.

    ARTIST TALK: Wednesday, Feb 4 | 11:30am

    This exhibition informs the public about the nature of contemporary printmaking as used by these local artists in their individual practices; from traditional approaches using multiplicity found in techniques of intaglio, woodblock, silk screen, and lithography, to ideas of seriality incorporating methods of installation, collage, video montage, and bookmaking.

    Featured artists include established educators, independent practitioners, and early-career artists who are affiliated with our California Community College and University educational systems. This exhibit brings together nationally established figures who use both traditional and contemporary methods with current innovators who are exploring the potentiality of the medium as a vehicle for conversations on contemporary cultural issues.

    These artists, in a variety of ways promote the universal accessibility of print medium and are involved in education, publication, technical innovation, and community outreach in our Southern California communities.
