Art Exhibit

December 3- 8

We will be hosting an exhibit for the thesis of Cal State Fullerton Master of Fine Arts student, Leonardo Contreras:

Chen Liu is a Graphic and Interactive Design major. His project, “Design comes from Life,” takes inspiration from the world around him. Chen hopes that people find relief from stress by viewing his work.

Leonardo Contreras

Leonardo Contreras will be exhibiting an art sculpture project. He is excited to be presenting his work in an unconventional way at the Arboretum, surrounded by nature. After completing the Masters in Fine Arts program, Leonardo hopes to teach sculpting classes full-time.
