2D3D+ Juried Student Art Exhibition Family Night & Awards Ceremony
The 2D3D Juried Art Exhibition features art and graphic design work made by students in Visual Communication Design courses. Awards are presented to outstanding works of fine art and visual communication design.
Graphic Design Juror: Kareem Collie
Kareem Collie is a designer, strategist, and educator specializing in strategic and human-centered design approaches to capture, reveal, and produce visual and experiential narratives.
Kareem has spent over a decade working with everyone from non-profits & universities to corporate clients like Coca-Cola and Viacom — shaping visual and brand narratives, reimagining user experiences, and coaching leaders through the design and creative process.
He brings a critical lens on design, creative leadership, as well as thoughtful creative strategy and design research and has won accolades, publishing, exhibitions, and speaking engagements for his professional and academic work. This success is due to his deep curiosity in design that goes beyond a project brief.
Kareem is currently a UX Design Lead at IBM, and serves on the AIGA's National Steering Committee for Design Educators, and is a Stanford University School Fellow. He holds a master's degree from NYU in communication studies and a bachelor's in fine arts from Pratt Institute in communication design.
Fine Artist Juror: Katie Stubblefield
Katie Stubblefield lives and makes works in Long Beach, California. She received her BFA from Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, and MFA from California State University, Long Beach. She is an adjunct professor teaching art survey courses to adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism at Coastline College. Through their Special Programs and Services Department, she develops both vocation-centered certificated programs and individual creative courses for the department.
Currently, Stubblefield's works are on display virtually at Coastline Community College, Newport Beach, CA (The Ides of March), and Jonathan Art Foundation, Los Angeles, CA (Celebration of California), as well as physically and virtually at the W. Keith & Janey Kellogg University Art Gallery in Pomona (St. Broxville Woods: Into the Thicket) with Jennifer Gunlock and Hilary Norcliffe.
Her pandemic projects include Durden and Ray's We Are Here/Here We Are in her front yard and consignments at SCAPED in Corona del Mar and the Grace Kennedy Gallery in Long Beach. Virtually, she is participating in How this Moment Looks at Guided by the Eye.com and the ongoing rounds of Call and Response through Shoebox PR. Additionally, she has works prepared for the post-pandemic exhibition, Galactic Nature, at Liz's Loft in Lost Angeles.
Her works have been included in exhibitions at SALT Fine Art, the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum, San Louis Obispo Museum of Art, Jordan Faye Contemporary, Jamie Brooks Fine Art, SCAPE, POST Gallery, and the Brooklyn Art Library. Katie received an Insight/Incite Award and an Individual Artists Fellowship from the Long Beach Arts Council.
Katie Stubblefield's woodcut prints, oil paintings, sculptures, and sigh-specific installed projects explore order, chaos, and entropy. Stubblefield's imagery is informed by site visits, forensic photography, first-hand accounts, and evidence of changed/damaged/evolving environments caused by super-sized storm patterns and climate change.
"Class of 2013" Student Alum and Graphic Designer: Corey McClelland
Corey McClelland studied Fine Art and Graphic Design and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Cal Poly Pomona in 2013. He has 8+ years of industry experience in the fields of Visual Design, User Experience, Themed Entertainment, and Industrial Design. He has been a consultant for Nissan and Caltech and worked in-house for URBN, Walt Disney Imagineering, Marvel Entertainment, and Disney Research. McClelland is currently an Associate Design Director at frog design, leading the design and integration of digital and physical solutions.
McClelland's work emphasizes the incorporation of empathy and innovation with digital experiences, products, and physical environments. In 2016, McClelland's team at Walt Disney Imagineering received the THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement for their work on Ghost Post, Disneyland Resort. Additionally, his consultant work for Nissan was awarded the EyesOn Design awards for Best Concept Vehicle and Best Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
