I studied at Crafton Hills College for two years before transferring here to University of Redlands to study for another three years. My concentration is Graphic Design, but I have been working in many different mediums of art.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Alicia Lopez:</b> My art is abstract, based off emotions I am feeling or struggling with. I work mainly with acrylic paints on canvas, and tend to use my fingers, hands, and arms to apply the paint at times. I am a very tactile person and like to bring texture to my pieces.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Calvin Originales:</b> I believe that the work I create follows a very different idea than a lot of my classmates. As someone who was born with a hearing disability, I always focused on the visual aspects of everyday objects to live a comfortable life. Because of this, I enjoy seeing things that are easy to understand and translate.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Alicia Lopez:</b> For the show, I created four body imprints (two are displayed) where I covered most of my body in paint (still trying to get it all out of my hair!) and lay in different positions on panels of cloth. Faceless Beauty is an acrylic painting displayed where I layered paint on top of paint to bring texture to the piece, using palette knives along with brushes to apply the paint. Torn Serenity, not in the show, is a piece where I took paper clay to create fingers, which I poked through the canvas to create a 3D piece. For myself, many times it is the process of creating, and not necessarily the outcome, that I am looking for.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Calvin Originales:</b> My recent projects have consisted of visual graphics, architecture, landscaping, and sculpture to design an environment that is not only visually appealing, but also easy to navigate and understand. These environments I have been designing include parks, a beach, and even a section of a college campus.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">What was involved in setting up the senior art show? </h3><div><b>Calvin Originales:</b> Our 2022 Senior art show has been a class effort when it comes to putting it together. Professor Penny divided our class of 25 students into 4 different committees. We are on the exhibition committee and we have quite a few tasks. We led the discussion in coming up with a title that would represent our work and ourselves as artists. We also communicated with other classmates about the work they wish to present in the show and the space they need to effectively display their work. After we were able to get a better idea of what was being put in the show, a few of us on the committee brainstormed ideas on where we would want to place our classmates’ work, and others took charge in getting artwork labels and artist statements from our class.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Alicia Lopez:</b> There are other committees involved who created a catalog and an online exhibit of the artists and their work, along with fliers, banners, and postcard invitations each of us involved could send out to loved ones. It was a huge group effort, and with everyone so willing to support each other in what they were trying to accomplish, I believe it to be a wonderful success for us all.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Calvin Originales:</b> All this week, our class has been installing their work in the gallery. It was our committee’s job to make sure everything would run smoothly, but it took effort from our whole class to prepare it into how it is now. We all helped each other hang our artworks, adjust lighting, figure out placements of pedestals, and overall, design a space that would allow all our artworks to intrigue people the moment they take a step in the gallery.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">What was something you learned about yourself, or other graduating artists, during the process of getting ready for this show?</h3><div><b>Alicia Lopez:</b> There is much collaboration and compromise involved with creating a successful group show. Last semester, we did set up an art show at a local pizza place, which gave us a little insight on what to expect for the show for this semester.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Calvin Originales:</b> It is exciting to me to finally be able to see everyone’s work. Because our class has a variety of concentrations, a lot of us have never really shared a class with each other. I have taken intro classes with some but never shared another class with them until now, and it is interesting to see the work that they specialize in.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Alicia Lopez:</b> I learned to become more forgiving with myself and more confident in the work that I create. Planning a show like this, you learn things about each other that you might not have otherwise. This great group of artists can be very intimidating at first when one sees how talented they all are. I was very intimidated and thought my work wasn’t “up to par” per se. Realizing that we all face the same fears/struggles in life, that we are all human and all could use a little help/support, reminded me to be proud of my own accomplishments and confident enough to attempt things I may have never considered otherwise. Being able to bounce ideas off of each other, especially those from other concentrations, helped in being able to see things from different perspectives and in solving issues where I was able to talk out where/why I was stuck.</div><div><br /></div><div>The closing reception for “Meraki” is Thursday, April 21, 2022 from 4:30-6:30 pm at the University of Redlands Art Gallery.

Popularized by the Japanese company Riso in the 1980s, risographs are known for their vibrant, sustainable inks and economical production value. Many printers, churches and schools came to rely on risography in the era before affordable desktop printing; in the digital era, the method has evolved into "an equally modern and nostalgic experience." [1, 2] <br /><br />Other pieces involve paintings on translucent rice paper pressed over a video background to produce a composite, continuously shifting image. Like the risographs, these works immerse the viewer in a drama of light and shadows. As bold colors intermingle, McElroy's evocative titles invite viewers to contemplate multiple layers of meaning. <br /><br />In her exhibition statement, McElroy relates her use of light and shadow to the many journeys that await her viewers - travel across time and space, or perhaps deep within oneself. "Shadow and light, inextricably linked - each necessary for the other to be. In dreamland, these are not opposite concepts, but rather more like the front and back covers of that favorite novel. When we enter it, we are immediately elsewhere..." [3] <br /></p><p><i>Dreamland</i> runs January 18 to February 6, 2022 at the University Art Gallery. The opening reception will be held Wednesday, January 26 from 4:30-6:30 pm.

Acero is a mixed-media artist who explores themes of time, identity and culture through simple techniques that embody centuries of tradition and innovation.<br /><br />"Colecciones" draws together work from across Acero's career, including a series of sculpted clay heads, paintings evoking the history of indigenous people and works inspired by his own family. The concept for the show developed out of Acero's response to the pandemic, which struck while he was on sabbatical and has persisted beyond his retirement. Unable to access supplies and equipment needed to work in three-dimensional sculpture, he turned to drawing and painting and held his most recent exhibition, "A Maker's Life," as <a href="https://www.redlands.edu/raul-acero/" target="_blank">an online retrospective</a>. <br /><br />With the campus open again, "Colecciones" fully exploits Acero's ability to physically juxtapose his work in a gallery. Grouping his work into categories helped Acero articulate the coherence of his art and its relationship to current issues, such as the movements for social justice that gained momentum during the pandemic summer. In choosing to work with (relatively) inexpensive materials, to create practical objects, and to execute his concepts himself, Acero stands against dominant value systems of Western art, aligning himself instead with traditions of craft and figurative sculpture found around the world. <br /><br />"Colecciones" runs November 16-December 12 at the University Art Gallery. The opening reception is Wednesday, November 17 from 4:30-6:30 pm.

<p>The Mexican-born playwright took the oath of allegiance to the United States and became a naturalized American citizen alongside twenty-nine other applicants at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., with her husband and two actresses from her latest play in the audience.
Zacarías had called the United States home since childhood and used her plays to raise awareness of the experiences of immigrants.
She was a proud supporter of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy and vocally opposed the candidacy of Donald Trump.
However, being unable to actually vote in the 2016 election left her feeling voiceless; her frustration over the election's outcome drove her to finally apply for citizenship.</p>
<p>After taking the oath, it was President Trump's face that filled the screen next, exhorting Zacarías and the other participants to teach American values to other immigrants and "help them to assimilate to our way of life" in a pre-recorded message that several of the new citizens found disconcerting.
As Juliet Sanchez, the Colombian-born schoolteacher who stood next to Zacarías during the ceremony, explained, "We can and should respect, celebrate, and embrace our new culture, but you shouldn't tell us to assimilate" [2].</p>
<p>The complexities of home and identity are familiar themes for Zacarías, who is the daughter of an accomplished Mexican epidemiologist and a Danish nurse and speaks four languages.
She recalls, "I grew up in an extended family where it was not uncommon for someone to stop eating to write a poem on a napkin. I always knew I wanted to be a writer". [7]
She titled her first two poems "I wake up with love" and "I am sick and tired of the moon."
Whe she was six years old, she decided she needed a typewriter, like any serious writer, and saved up her allowance to buy one.
Every Christmas she and her cousins entertained the family with a talent show featuring poetry, music, and skits. [1]<br /></p>
<p>Growing up around ambitious artists inspired Zacarías' dreams, but also dispelled any illusions she may have had about what these dreams could cost her. "I have seen people become bitter because they had made big sacrifices and given everything to their art, and art (or any profession, no matter how passionate) will <i>never</i> give you everything back," she reflects.
"I saw how artistic expression could be misused as a justification for self-indulgent, self-important and destructive behavior," she explained. "Consequently I resisted being an artist for many years." [7] </p><p>Zacarías recalls her grandmother as "an early feminist who fell madly in love with the wrong man," the renowned "Golden Age" director and screenwriter Miguel Zacarías.
"She struggled with her conflicting feelings for my traditional grandfather and her need for expression in a world that did not deem her worthy ... She was the true brilliant writer in the family, difficult and charismatic and contradictory, who was silenced in so many ways and died in her room alone..."
Zacarías would later draw upon these memories in her play <i>The Sins of Sor Juana</i>, with its vivid portrayal of seventeenth-century nun-turned-proto-feminist-poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. [7] </p>
<p>Zacarías experienced her first major change in life circumstances at age ten, when her father received a scholarship to study at Harvard and moved the whole family to Brookline, Massachussets, where they unexpectedly decided to stay.
Her father survived a deportation scare and eventually moved to Washington, D.C. to oversee the the Pan American Health Organization's AIDS program. [1][7]</p><p> Meanwhile, Zacarías majored in International Relations at Stanford University and took a job at a Latin American policy think tank to pay off her student loans.
She started writing plays by night and took classes in playwriting at Georgetown.
Her classmates recognized her prodigious talent and encouraged her to apply to graduate school, but she was reluctant, insisting she wouldn't apply until she "knew I could support myself without betraying others." [7] Finally, another student promised to pay Zacarías' tuition so that she could use her training to help others.
Zacarías enrolled at Boston University and, upon graduating with an MA in playwriting, founded the Young Playwrights' Theater, a nonprofit that teaches playwriting as a way to empower urban youth with literacy and conflict resolution skills. [1]<br /></p>
<p>As Zacarias' nonprofit work immersed her in D.C. public schools, she became increasingly concerned with reaching young audiences through theatre.
Her plays <i>Chasing George Washington</i> and <i>Einstein is a Dummy</i> introduced historical figures with disarming humor, while <i>Cinderella Eats Rice and Beans</i> retold a traditional fairy tale through a less Eurocentric lens. Her documentary-style play <i>Just Like Us</i> followed four Latina girls - two of whom are "Dreamers" - through the transition from girlhood to young adulthood.
The play premiered in Denver in 2013 and was rapidly taken up across the country. [8]
When Donald Trump announced he would seek to end DACA if he was elected President, Zacarías renounced royalties on her script and offered it to any organization that was interested.
Requests flooded in from middle schools, high schools, universities and even a group of immigration lawyers. [4]
Her most recent play, <i>The Copper Children</i>, tells of "orphan trains" taking Irish immigrants westward, a largely forgotten chapter of American history that produced a notorious custody case billed as the twentieth century's first "Trial of the Century" - some ninety years before the O.J. Simpson trial. [5]<br /></p>
<p>As Zacarías' star has risen, she has had to work even harder to balance work and home, profession and family. "The truth is, I am an uncool artist hoping to buy a used minivan. I have diapers to change, grants to write, classes to teach, so I spend months writing in my head until I can sit down and pour it out on paper ... [Plays] are like children. No matter how many you've had or known in the past, each play needs to gestate and grow and be nurtured and molded by time, attention, inspiration and humor". [7]<br /></p>
<p><i>Native Gardens</i>, the play Zacarías had in production at the time she became an American citizen, was thus a product of its time.
The play displays Zacarías' penchant for humorous dialogue and complex, vibrant characters, but anxieties about the future lurk just beneath the surface.
Zararías says she was inspired to write the play after hearing friends trade stories of their disputes with next-door neighbors, squabbles that struck the playwright as "absurd in some ways, but the consequences were really real and emotionally upsetting. I kept thinking, 'Wow, it's almost like every single battle between nations or tribes boils down to this fight between property and culture.'" [3]<br /></p>
<p>As Zacarías revised the script, she wove in references to President Trump's border wall and his demand that Mexico pay the costs.
"There's been something in the atmosphere for much longer that made this comedy about gardening and planting and building a fence have a much deeper resonance," she observed.
Indeed, only hours before the play's New York premiere, President Trump declared a national emergency to divert funds to border wall construction. [3]<br /></p>
<p>Around this time, Zacarías gave birth to her third child and her odyssey took another twist.
The Washington, D.C. townhouse where she had raised two children with her husband, lawyer Rett Snotherly, was feeling cramped and her go-to writing space - the kitchen table - was causing problems for everyone.
Zacarías and Snotherly fell in love with an abandoned group home in D.C.'s Mount Pleasant neighborhood and put in an offer, but were outbid by a development company.
When the wealthy developer backed out, the property owner offered Zacarías and Snotherly a chance to match the high bid of $975,000 before putting the property back on the market.
Given only five hours to decide, they said yes.
"Our parents came to see what we bought, and they all cried," recalled Zacarías. "They thought we had ruined our lives."
"You bought a shell," agreed the first designer that they spoke to about renovating the run-down property. [6]<br /></p>
<p>Undaunted, Zacarías and Snotherly pressed ahead with a redesign.
They sold their old townhouse and cashed in their retirement plans.
Snotherly even sold his beloved comic book collection.
He had been collecting comics since he was eight, and his collection, amassing over 4,000 titles, had consumed the family's closet space.
Zacarías and Snotherly hired local designers and builders and proceeded with the work in gradual stages over a five-year period to save money.
In an interview with the <i>Washington Post</i>, Zacarías said she was pleased with the results: for the first time, she had a dedicated writing space at home and a large walk-in closet - with nary a comic book in sight.
Her thoughts then turned to deeper reflections on home and belonging: "If we had started this [remodel] when COVID started, it would have been abandoned again. But we were lucky to live through it in this house. We had no idea how much this house would give back to us in a time when we really needed it." [6]</p><p>The University of Redlands production of <i>Native Voices</i> is directed by Gabriel Rodriguez.
Three performances will take place at the Frederick Loewe Theatre on October 15, 16, and 17.
All attendees must wear masks and show proof of COVID-19 vaccination in accordance with University policy.

Come by our Lobby and take a selfie or write down notes about your favorite banned books. Find a book on our cart and take a selfie! Don't forget to #ArmacostLibrary !!</p><p>When thinking about the countless books that have been banned and pulled from libraries around the world over time, it's difficult to understand some of the reasons as to why they were banned in the first place. Whether it be due to disgruntled parents, violence, or language, we have some of those books at the Armacost Library! </p><p>Some of the classics today were once banned, like '<a href="https://redlands.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UOR_INST/1ev0bvt/alma991000286999703896" target="_blank">The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</a>' because people had viewed Huck as a bad role model for kids and due to its offensive language and racism. '<a href="https://redlands.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UOR_INST/ai3dgh/alma991002072429703896" target="_blank">Of Mice and Men</a>' was banned for vulgarity, treatment of women, and racism. And '<a href="https://redlands.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UOR_INST/ai3dgh/alma991000363269703896" target="_blank">The Color Purple</a>' was banned for graphic sexual content, mentions of abuse, and violence. Other titles include '<a href="https://redlands.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UOR_INST/ai3dgh/alma991001686729703896" target="_blank">The Outsiders</a>' by S.E. Hinton, '<a href="https://redlands.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01UOR_INST/ai3dgh/alma991000683479703896" target="_blank">To Kill A Mockingbird</a>' by Harper Lee, and even 'Harry Potter' by J.K.

Which is why <a href="https://bannedbooksweek.org/" target="_blank">Banned Books Week</a> continues through the years to expose the titles that have been hidden away from the public. By celebrating the freedom to read and giving everyone an opportunity to explore without feeling restricted, we learn to build communities, social justice, and can become a more tolerant and accepting community. <p></p><p>Come by the table at Hunsaker Plaza during your lunch hours to find out more about the events or get a button for yourself with our button press!
