titled Artist, Curators, and Public Art on October 11 at 6:00 PM in the
lecture center on the Cerro Coso campus.
Additionally, Blair Sands Hansen and Chris Acuna-Hansen have curated a show
of currently showing Los Angeles artists for out Art Gallery titled
"Whatchya Lookin' At?," which opens October 11 and will run through December

"Whatchya Lookin' At?" is a small survey of some of the work currently being
looked at and shown by gallery owners Chris Acuna-Hansen and Blair Sands
Hansen. The artworks, although varied in medium and style, share a common
conceptual and aesthetic approach indicative of the work being produced by
contemporary Southern California Artists.

the Fire Mountain Foundation. Both the lecture and the Gallery Show are free
