BFA graduates exhibit creative excellence at downtown Turlock art space

Stan State’s Art Space in downtown Turlock is hosting its annual Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) graduate exhibition, on display through May 23. The exhibition opened May 8 with a reception and artist talk, where attendees received catalogs featuring the artists and their works. Dean de Cocker, Director of the Art Space Main Gallery, welcomed guests, and faculty honored each of the 14 graduating BFA students, including Alex Cobain, Amora Ilene Cruz, Zehl Day, and others. The show features diverse media—painting, sculpture, multimedia, and conceptual art—with standout pieces like Riddick McCoy's "Lived Life Experience (Metal Up Your Ass)" and a solo exhibition by Fatima Gutierrez titled "Homenaje a la Memoria."
