- **Event Name**: SWC Art Gallery presents Far Away, So Close
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 10:30 am – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Southwestern College Art Gallery presents Far Away, So Close from Thursday, March 19th through Tuesday, April 21st.

Faraway So Close is a group exhibition that explores the unique experiences faced by immigrant artists as they seek to find balance between being in one place and from another, what it means to express the sincerity of your own upbringing while not becoming the exotic outsider, and to fully embrace your life while being able to understand and critique this new place from a perspective not shaped by being raised there.

 Finding this balance in our current cultural and political moment, each of these artists, Beliz Iristay (Turkey), Bhavna Mehta (India), Carlos Castro (Colombia), Dorris Bittar (Lebanon), Farshid Bazmandegan (Iran), Marianela de la hoz (Mexico), and Misato Susuki(Japan), navigate the space between here and there, and present us with the view that is something of both places, and often, simultaneously, somewhere completely new.

An Artist’s Talk and reception will be held on Thursday, March 19th, from 12-noon until 1pm in room 87-104
 
All Gallery events are free and open to the general public.

Regular gallery hours are Monday-Thursday  10:30am - 2:30pm.
