We were honored to take over Ojai’s Annual Student Art Show from the Porch Gallery Ojai, in 2017. As Ojai’s Non-profit Art Charity so much of our work is focused around educating our community about fine art. A large portion of our audience is students and school communities. This year, we decided to change the name of The Student Show to The School Show, and showcase not only our local youth, but their influencers as well. Our students from Nordhoff High School, Oak Grove School, Thacher, Ojai Valley School, Villanova and Besant Hill are sharing the gallery space with teachers - Elizabeth Reynolds from Thacher School, Kate Thomas from Nordhoff High School and Peter Rostovsky, Professor of Painting at Parsons, NYU and Clark College. CGBF is also showcasing the works of professional career artists in this show, mentors, whose work includes elements related to school - Rob Fischer’s Dodgeball, a work on paper printed from his sculpture entitled with the same name at High Point Press and Doug Wada’s Lockers painted as a memory from Doug’s childhood. And finally, Ry Rocklen, a contemporary sculptor and installation artist gives us all fond memories of the paper airplanes we flew in class, towards our friends, before cell phone texting existed, with his metal paper airplane sculpture! Thank you for supporting our local youth and our public art charity that contributes greatly to youth education!
