Satellites: Adjunct Art Exhibition
Nov 6 - Dec 10, 2025
The LBCC Art Gallery proudly
presents Satellites, a dynamic exhibition
showcasing the creative talents of our Visual and Media Arts
adjunct faculty. Like satellites, these artists travel their own
arcs across the city—crossing freeways, weaving through
neighborhoods, and carrying the weather of their studios with
them—before converging in Long Beach to share their work.
This diverse constellation features works across a wide range of
disciplines, including photography, jewelry and metalsmithing,
photography, media arts, sculpture, printmaking, drawing,
painting, costume design, set design, ceramics and film. Each
piece is a transmission from a unique vantage point, bearing the
textures of its maker’s daily landscape, the imprint of their
community, and the hum of ideas gathered along the way.
Satellites is both a convergence and a celebration: a moment when the rich artistic voices shaping our classrooms align in a shared orbit, inspiring the next generation of creators before returning to their own circuits in the ever-expanding field of art.
Exhibition date: Nov 6th to Dec 10, 2025
Opening reception: Thurs, Nov 6th, 2025 from 5-7pm
Artist talk: Saturday, Nov 15th, 2025 from 1-3pm
