Saint Mary's College Museum of Art

This fall, the Saint Mary’s College Museum of Art (SMCMoA) presents two unique exhibitions that explore how art can serve as a medium to connect and cultivate community. Echoes of Yosemite showcases the College’s founding collection of work by the 19th-century landscape painter William Keith. Keith’s works are presented in dialogue with contemporary interpretations and renderings of Yosemite National Park created by members of the California Art Club (CAC). Arreglos Intuitivos / Intuitive Arrangements features paintings, prints, and collages by San Francisco-based artist Gustavo Ramos Rivera, who explores universal forms and folkloric memory through bright colors and abstract shapes.

SMCMoA will hold an artist talk with Gustavo Ramos Rivera and printmaker Kathryn Kain on Wednesday, September 17, at 1:30 p.m. in Hagerty Lounge in De La Salle Hall on the Saint Mary’s College campus. The opening reception for both exhibitions will be the following day, September 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. Opening remarks will be held in the museum courtyard at 5:30 p.m. These events are free and open to the public. The exhibitions will be on view through December 14, 2025.
