Twelve graduating art majors will display their capstone art projects April 3-May 3 at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. A free, public reception opens “Twelvefold: Westmont College Graduate Exhibition 2025” on Thursday, April 3, from 4-6 p.m.

The exhibition offers diverse themes focused on identity, relationships, and place. The artists include Amélie Barrero, Creed Bauman, Mia Brooke, Jaycee Felkins, Erika Harrison, Tucker Howard, Julia Jachetta, Gray Mohon, Juliana Moore, Ryan Speight, Rebekah Steele and Laurea Wanner.

The art projects range in media from charcoal drawings, oil paintings, watercolor, mixed media drawings, multimedia books, acrylic paintings on disassembled car parts, screen prints and sculpture.

“The twelve artists included in the graduate exhibition have each been engaged in creating a body of artwork focused on living intentionally, using visual interpretations to explore imaginative worlds, the intersection of art and science, the ephemeral nature of memories, the impact of industrialization on the land, and identity,” Meagan Stirling, who chairs the art department and supervised the senior capstone.

As longtime donors to the senior show, Ken and Francie Jewesson generously sponsored the exhibition.

Admission is free to the museum, which is open weekdays 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturdays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. It is closed on Sundays  and college holidays.
