            Faculty and students in the Visual Arts & Media Studies division and professionals will participate in the city of Pasadena’s ArtNight on March 9.

            Pasadena ArtNight is a free evening of art, music, and entertainment presented at 12 different locations in Pasadena, including PCC, the Pasadena Museum of History and the Armory Center for the Arts.

            Students from the advanced level art classes, including the advance film class will show case their works that are already on display at the Art Gallery on campus.

            “All students who are interested in art and music should stop by and check out what some of these students have to show,” said Brain Tucker, Art Gallery Director and an instructor in the Visual Arts and Media Studies division. ” You might just find something that catches your eye.”

            Professional artist Erin Cosgrove will screen her satirical short animations in Room 122 of the R Building. Cosgrove is a professional artist who got her MFA in Art from UCLA in 2001. Books that she has published will be on display in her showcase. 

            Among the students who will display art is Inga Mitinyan, film. With the help of Carlos Lemus and animation artist Eduardo Remez, Mitinyan created a 25 second animation loop that lasts eight minutes.

“I wanted to show a love story in 25 seconds,” said Mitinyan. ” I also wanted to show that [love] can repeat itself over and over again, hence the loop going on for eight minutes.”

            The untitled animated film will be on display in the gallery through the end of March.

            ArtNight is sponsored by the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission . Four bus shuttle routes will be available for the public to use for free after 5 p.m. This is to transport the public to the other 11 locations that are hosting events. Locations and directories to what will be displayed can be found on the artnightpasadena.org website or by calling in the ArtNight Hotline at 626-744-7887.

            Last fall, Art Night Pasadena had an attendance of around 14,000 people.
