In the art world’s recent past, time-honored skills frequently were overlooked in favor of fashionable uniformity. More recently, there’s been an important shift, and Laguna College of Art + Design’s (LCAD) MFA programs in Drawing and Painting are at the forefront, nurturing personal expression and promoting timeless skills to create enduring meaningful art.

LCAD Gallery 805 is pleased to announce The Next Wave: New Masters of Fine Art, an exhibition that will feature works by students, candidates, and recent graduates of LCAD’s MFA programs in Drawing and Painting.

Exhibiting artists: Mitchell Aiken, Aaron Berg, Daniel Berg, Barbara Brown, Kaela Carson, Elizabeth Congdon, Isabel Emrich, Gavin Gardner, Brandon Gonzales, Harrison Halaska, Bryan Heggie, Yiming Hong, Kate Landry, Shane McClatchey, Matthew McMullen, William Neukomm, Dan Nguyen, Jacqueline Nicolini, Aixa Oliveras, Pegah Samaie, Suzanne Shifflett, Mark Silverberg, Kelly Smith-Fatten, Ramon Vargas, Pamela Wells, and Sam Woodfin.
