We end the fall semester of 2014 with an amazing exhibit in our very own Taft College Art Gallery. This exhibit displays incredible photographs by Gary Graupman and Erwin Ledford. The photographs were taken in Australia and Alaska of flora and fauna.

Of course, we couldn’t end the semester without an art reception for the artists, so on December 12, 2014, professor Swenson hosted a reception. Artist Gary Graupman shared the limelight with Brian Jean who played the acoustic guitar for the audience. The beautiful sound of the music along with the photographs was enough to captivate the audience. Brian Jean played some of his new music along with music still in the making.

Gary Graupman spoke about each one of his photographs. He shared his favorite ones with the audience and spoke about his trips. His family and friends were there to show him support.

The exhibit will be on display in the art gallery until January 23, 2015, so there is still time to go see it. “There is never an admission at the Taft College Art Gallery so bring a friend.”
