Perspectives at the Hammer2 Gallery


Located on the 2nd floor of the Hammer Theatre, the Hammer2 Gallery features a rotating display of artwork by San José State University alumni. The gallery will be a site to exhibit artists’ work, support artists financially through art sales, as well as foster young artists’ work.

 

The current exhibition brings together the work of five alumni artists: Carlo Ricafort, Dani Torvik, Peter Moen, Josie Lepe, Tovah Cheng, and Ian Fabre. These artists explore work in a variety of media, including watercolor, oil paint and mixed media, and diverse subject matter, including personal identities, cultural symbols, family history and abstract forms.
