The Long Beach Creative Group presents a new exhibition, S.T.E.A.M.: Artistry Unleashed – The Fusion of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. The show opens with an artist reception Oct.13 and runs through Nov. 9.
The exhibit, “explores how artistic expression can elevate and interpret complex concepts from STEM disciplines,” said LBCG Exhibit Coordinator Travis Stock-Tucker, who curated the invitational show. Artists include Sheriann Ki Sun Burnham, Austin Kenneth Daniels, Jonathan Godinez, Brian Lowe, Cody Lusby, Christine Nakamura, Dominic Nakamura, and Anthony Tripe. “The media include painting, photography, computer-generated video, mixed media sculpture, and 3D-Printed objects,” Travis-Stock explained.
Several special events are scheduled during the exhibition, including movie night from 7:30 to 9 p.m., Oct. 25. The gallery will screen the documentary, Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow, which examines the work of German artist Anselm Kiefer, who transforms industrial ruins into monumental works of art.
On Saturday, November 2, the gallery hosts “Family Day,” where parents and children are invited to share a fun-filled afternoon exploring hands-on activities, and build model rockets.
On Nov. 8, join the featured artists for STEAM Day. The gallery will be open late, from 4-7pm, and the artists will discuss the stories behind their pieces and explain how they integrate science, technology, engineering, and math into their artistic practices. All special events are completely free.
