The North View Gallery, the Helzer Gallery and the Paragon Gallery at Portland Community College are pleased to present our fifth college wide student art show — Art Out Loud: PCC Art Student Exhibition 24/25. This year our guest jurors are Jess Nickel, Sheyam Ghieth and Jamin London Tinsel for the Helzer, Paragon and North View galleries, respectively.? Students have selected the gallery where their work will show and opening dates and award ceremonies are specific to each participating gallery. This means that each of our three art galleries is featuring work made by students on-campus at the Sylvania, Cascade, Rock Creek and Southeast campuses, along with the Hillsboro and Newberg centers and in remote and fully online classes.
Art Out Loud, Portland Community College’s 5th Annual college-wide art student exhibition features student art made across the PCC District in PCC’s three art galleries, during a time when the arts and humanities are facing unprecedented challenges. The arts at Portland Community College are also experiencing cuts that will inevitably impact the equitable access to art that our students currently have. But PCC students are passionate and resilient. They have spent this past year making art that speaks openly about their struggles, fears, joys and even the beauty that they still find in the world around them. Art Out Loud amplifies the diverse voices of PCC students and honors their commitment to education and their deep engagement with the arts.
Please join us in celebrating the many students who have taken Art classes at PCC this past year and are raising their voices about the things that matter to them.
Funding for awards was generously provided by HARTS (The Humanities and Arts Initiative) along with the Art Student Supplies Fund through the I Heart Art project and the Associated Students of Portland Community College (ASPCC).
About the Guest Juror:
Jamin London Tinsel is a studio artist and art educator working in Portland, Oregon. She received her MFA in Ceramics from The University of The Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2007.? Jamin’s artistic process is a deep dive into self exploration and memory. She seeks answers, attempting to understand the things bubbling to the surface that haunt, taunt, and trouble her, or make her laugh and spark joy. As memories churn inside and seek release, Jamin creates physical objects to share and relate to the experience of other humans to achieve a sense of resolution, acceptance and integration of these issues. Her current body of work came into being through a summer residency at Oregon College of Art and Craft, a group residency at Red Lodge Clay Center in Red Lodge, Montana, and a two-week stint at Ceramic Kingdom in Berlin, Germany.?
