The Hyde Art Gallery invites all Grossmont College faculty, staff, and administrators to participate in sharing their artwork created during an ongoing health crisis against the background of socio-political upheaval.

 

The fall semester represents a beginning of the gradual return to in-person operations at Grossmont College after more than 18-months of a pandemic that has claimed the lives of millions worldwide. During the past year and a half, we’ve all been subjected to feelings of isolation and cynicism; art and design often provided that crucial alternative outlet for expressing and detailing our unique experiences.

 

This will be the first in-person exhibition at the Hyde Art Gallery at Grossmont College’s new Performing and Visual Arts Center. Due to the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic, all scheduled in-person events are subject to change.
