Artwork created by Crafton Hills College’s (CHC) Visual Arts Professor Renée Azenaro and Digital Media Professor Iris Kern-Foster is on display now at the Yucaipa Performing Arts Center Gallery, in its first-ever two-person show.
Azenaro’s crochet metal sculptures, a small selection from her “Occlusions” installation and Iris Kern-Fosters’ digital prints of the “Somewhere” series both address topics of space relationships from different angles.
Yucaipa Performing Arts Center (YPAC) strives to collaborate, create, and cultivate dynamic experiences that enrich and deepen awareness and opportunities in the arts.
Community Services Coordinator Margo Mullen said YPAC was delighted to feature Azenaro and Kern-Foster.
“The YPAC is honored to exhibit the work of two local artists that are working with our community in the arts,” Mullen said. “This is the YPAC’s first two-person show, and we hope to continue to collaborate and work together with Azenaro and Kern-Foster, in addition to the whole Crafton Hills College community, what we can do together is truly incredible.”
The YPAC Gallery is a public space located in the theater’s lobby.
