Student Exhibit at Soka University
University level student work always interests me. We have the opportunity to view new talent and see what ideas, concepts, and techniques inspire them. Mark Kirchner, one of our members, teaches photography at Soka University in Aliso Viejo. His students along with students from the drawing/painting and ceramics disciplines will be exhibiting their work in a show titled “Class Works”.
The exhibit opens on May 21st, and runs through August 21st. It is located on the first floor Art Gallery of Founders Hall (the domed building). Gallery hours are M-F 9-5. Closed on weekends.
The university is idyllically placed on a hilltop with beautiful grounds. It is worth a visit for that alone. The art makes the trip even more exciting. Let’s see what Mark’s students are up to.

Mark Kirchner is a great photographer with an admirable commitment to narratives of the past. I featured his work from Manzanar Internment camp some months ago.
