Southland: Drawings from Southern California

Eight well-known artists were asked to submit drawings capturing the essence of Southern California – the people, places and culture that make this an extraordinary place to live.

A dynamic and versatile medium, drawing allows for great speed but also detailed, careful study. The exhibited works by Justin Bua, Kathiucia Dias, Sean Ghobad, Scott Kiche, Luis Peña, Kate Wolfgang Savage, Mia Tavonatti and Aihua Zhou, ranging from quiet little landscape studies to large multimedia creations, will surprise the viewer with their unexpected visions.

An artists' reception will be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 19.

Admission is free. The Kwan Fong Gallery, located in Soiland Humanities Center, is open to the public 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
