In celebration of Women’s History Month, we are highlighting distinct works by two artists, Jennifer Anne Bennett and Jeanne Dunn. In the gallery, their large-scale canvases envelop us with the omnipresent beauty of Nature. Bennett’s animated brushstrokes and sumptuous color-washes coax luminous landscapes into being. Inspired by the healing experience of Japanese "forest-baths" (shinrin-yoku), Dunn paints a sensual arboreal space using vibrant hues and quasi-representational forms. Join us for the reception and meet the artists on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, from 4 – 7 p.m. Visit the gallery website Mesa College Art Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

In partnership with UC San Diego Professor Steven Schick and Red Fish Blue Fish, the percussion ensemble presents the West Coast premiere of Douglas J. Cuomo’s "THE JUMP UP!", a site-specific piece directed by Mark DeChiazza, shaped to accommodate the specific topography and features of its location. All the musicians will move through the space during the piece, first offering the audience a wide panoramic perspective that gradually gathers towards the audience as the performance goes on. At the finale, the players merge into the audience, who will be invited to join into the musical fabric by clapping or vocalizing (as instructed on the fly by Sandbox Percussion) to form a single communal orchestra. Described as “exhilarating” by the New York Times, the Grammy-nominated ensemble Sandbox Percussion champions living composers through its unwavering dedication to contemporary chamber music. Composer Douglas J. Cuomo has composed for the concert, operatic and theatrical stage, a well as for television and film, including the themes for "Sex and The City" (HBO); "NOW" with Bill Moyers and Wide Angle (PBS); music for "Homicide: Life On The Street" (NBC). Presented as part of La Jolla Playhouse’s WOW Festival. Visit: 'The Jump Up' ArtPower at UC San Diego on Instagram and Facebook
