The Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee at MCC recently created a new art exhibit. Amee Schmidt, the Chair of the DEIC, talks more about that.
This new exhibit is quite different from the past art galleries as it includes works from industrial arts rather than the typical art forms like paintings, drawings, and photography. The goal when putting up the new exhibit was to represent the diversity of MCC’s campus and to include all of the different artistic professions.
It has a large handcrafted podium constructed by lead faculty of construction, Jake Bennett, and his students.
She says that part of what makes the art featured in the gallery is amazing because one ‘doesn’t usually think of metal as being pretty.’ One example she mentioned is a handcrafted motorcycle made from pieces of metal from a gas line. The gallery will be is open at 8 AM to 9 PM every day of the week until April 12th. Many of the pieces are for sale, and the students of faculty members who made them will be the direct recipients of the funds.

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.
