Displaying the gallery

The Los Medanos College Art Gallery is preparing for its spring student exhibition, which opened April 15.

A guest juror selected the pieces, and this year's show features an interactive element created by senior lab coordinator Cesar Reyes and Nick Nabas, inviting visitors to engage directly with the exhibit.
