Waning Crescent Opening Reception

Celebrate the opening of Waning Crescent: a meztli projects group show with food, music and community. Waning Crescent celebrates the journey of meztli projects in supporting Native and Indigenous artists. The exhibition features works created between 2024 and today by artists involved in their collaborative ecosystem. These pieces signify a new phase for the artists, showcasing their growth into new creative areas.

Inside the Art: Exploring the Creative Mind

Join us over Commencement Weekend for a special art experience that invites you to do more than just observe—become part of a live exploration into the nature of creativity. Visitors will engage with the thought-provoking works created by Oxy's talented graduating studio art seniors, and take part in a brief, interactive survey designed to capture how the art on display resonates on a personal level. Your responses will contribute to a larger research project examining the fascinating connection between artistic expression and audience perception.
