Ventura College galleries are hosting an acrylic landscapes exhibit as well as a photography and music multimedia show.

Ventura will continue their fall exhibits with an acrylic landscapes on canvas show by Renee Nemerov in Gallery 2 and a multimedia photography and music show about racism in the south in the 1930’s in the New Media Gallery.

Nemeroy is the sister of noted photographer Diane Arbus and United States poet laureate Howard Nemerov. Her stained glass work done with late husband Roy Sparkia is permanently mounted in the Empire State Building in New York, and her plastic-resin on wire armature sculptures can also be seen with Lord Beaverbrook, Nathan Cummings, Walter Annenberg and other prominent collectors.

“I want to stretch the viewer’s imagination,” said Nemerov.

The New Media Gallery will host a multi-media photography and music exhibit in support of the One Book One Campus project. This year’s chosen text is “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.

The exhibit, “The Signs of the Times: Segregation to Integration”, is a multimedia installation that electronically transposes Farm Security Administration and Civil Rights photographs with Alan Lomax’s original field recordings. It reflects the life under both segregation and integration from the 1930’s to 1960’s. The exhibits will run until Nov. 11 and opened yesterday.

Gallery hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with a curator/art instructor available in New Media Gallery from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday to discuss the One Book project.
