Coming soon to the Ginger Elliott Gallery!

Stitching Our Stories: The Asian Perspective pulls together artworks by artists of different ages, backgrounds, and media to piece together a collective story about Asians in art. From performance to sculpture, digital to oils, each work brings audiences into a new perspective. In addition to art pieces, the exhibition also includes posters of each artist that detail their background, their work, and quotes from interviews conducted in the months before the showcase. Clips from these interviews will also be presented. The exhibition not only hopes to spread Asian culture, but also to reach more audiences who can engage in conversation with this community.

Curator: Mia Li

Involved Artists (not in alphabetical order): Eunsoo Jeong, Seohee Choi, Mandy Tan, Sandra Low, Lin Jin (Double S), Symin Adive, Yoon Lee, Liyao Liao, Tommy Lei, Dan Kwon, Alice Feng (Corviday), Audrey Chan

Did you know that Claremont Heritage holds all of the yearbook editions for Claremont High School? 🤔

Today in the archives we are throwing it back to 1996 and looking back at the fun and fashion of the mid '90s. It is funny to think that fashion is back to where it was 20 years ago. So cool!
