"Thinking About Freedom" Shows Works from the San Quentin Arts Program
Drawings, paintings, and collages from artists involved in the arts program at San Quentin are now on display in the University Library Art Gallery. The exhibit, "Thinking About Freedom: Works from the San Quentin Arts Program", runs through April 30.The "Thinking About Freedom" exhibit is part of a campus-wide exploration of the concept of freedom. The idea to explore the concept of freedom was initiated by the Sonoma State Center for Performing Arts faculty, in homage to Harry Belafonte’s "The Long Road to Freedom." An original, a multi disciplinary production by the Center for Performing Arts exploring this vast concept will premiere in May.
The Arts and Lectures program in the University Library strives to enrich the intellectual, educational, and cultural life of the Sonoma State community. The program provides a venue for people to come together to share ideas through art, lectures, and discussions. Activities are designed to explore a diversity of ideas, values, and intellectual and artistic expressions. The Talk About Freedom exhibition, will stimulate this important campus discussion as students, faculty, and others explore what freedom means to an individual and to a society.
