Congratulations to two of our most recent graduates, Liz Finch and Malcolm Hecht, for being selected for the 20th Annual Recent Graduates Exhibition at Blackfish Gallery. Liz and Malcolm are representing Lewis & Clark in an exhibition that includes 15 Oregon art degree-granting institutions.  Amongst the works of 30 other emerging artists, their work definitely makes us proud.  The paintings and sculpture they’re presenting int the exhibition clearly shows a depth of investigation and care that makes us very excited for what will come next.
