Curator's Statement
Several representations of 19th and 20th-century Huichol yarn paintings are included, which have been used as an instrument for storytelling. Roberto Lugo's ceramics reimagine classical pottery forms by adding a 21st-century street sensibility to highlight themes of poverty, inequality, and racial injustice.
Over the past five decades, Judithe Hernández has centered the realities and mythologies of Mexican migrant women alongside the legacies of colonization and the US-Mexico border. Hernández is currently the subject of a retrospective at The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of the Riverside Art Museum.
Abel Alejandre's most recent series of paintings, The Chicano Moon Landing of 1968, introduces us to Xicanoland. This space seeks to honor real and imagined ancestors in a society that acknowledges our history while embracing hope for a better future.
We invite visitors to view the works and consider the various materials used over time to shape creative expressions to document stories.

ABOUT
THE GALLERY
The Clara and Allen Gresham Art Gallery is on the campus of San Bernardino Valley
College. SBVC's first "Little Gallery" was set up in a temporary building in 1958.
The SBVC Art Gallery then moved to the south side of campus at the site of the former
art complex. In 2006 the Art Gallery moved to its current location and was named the
Clara and Allen Gresham Art Gallery. Allen Gresham was a former Board of Trustee member,
and Clara has been a dedicated Gallery volunteer.
The Gallery hosts diverse content to serve and enrich the Valley College and Inland
Empire communities. Artillery Magazine has written about some of our notable exhibitions:
OUTSIDE LA: Printed Matter and GALLERY ROUNDS: Life By Design. The annual Student Art Exhibit provides art students with experience submitting
and preparing their work for public display.
