YC’s own Art Faculty members will share their visions in line, color, concept and composition at the Yavapai College Art Faculty Exhibition, Friday, April 4 to Friday, May 9 at YC’s Prescott Campus Gallery.

“Small Carbondrum”, Eric Boos
“I always enjoy showing work at the annual Faculty Exhibition,” says Artist/Instructor Eric Boos. “It gives me a chance to share my latest artistic experiments, to see what the other art faculty members have been creating, and to exchange ideas with the faculty members. It’s low pressure, and fun.”
Boos is one of eighteen instructors presenting work in the Faculty Art Exhibition, including Brandelyn Andres, Laura Bloomenstein, Jill Brugler, Dana Cohn, Jessica Crocker, Carl Dahl, Richard Derman, Jonah Fleeger, Dean Humphrey, Steve Mason, Benjamin McKee, Ben Norton, Ken Ottinger, Bryan Robertson, Chelsea Stone, Rita Toikka and Michael Werner.
