This 2D3D Juried Art Exhibition features art and graphic design by students at all academic levels. It is a juried competitive exhibition where students are awarded monetary scholarship prizes. This year’s exhibition was juried by: Jennifer Gunlock, Lisa Ly, and Peter Mays.
Reviewing 180 submissions with over 165 component parts by 92 students in 4 rounds of eliminations, the jurors deliberated at length, over 3 hours, to make the 77 selections of artworks exhibited here. On first viewing, jurors focused on the “stand-outs” and artworks with the most originality. On the subsequent rounds, they considered concept and craft. Overall, jurors considered and discussed craftsmanship and presentation, skill in the technical use of media, as well as creative execution of content and concept. After making their final selections, the jurors very quickly honed-in on those pieces they granted top prizes to special images and objects that also contain unique qualities that set them apart from the rest. From there, jurors nominated and unanimously agreed on first, second, third place, and honorable mention awards in the Fine Art and Graphic Design categories.
About the Jurors
Jennifer Gunlock
Jennifer Gunlock is an alumna of Cal Poly Pomona where she earned a BA in Fine Art in 1998. She earned her MFA at California State University, Long Beach in 2003. She has exhibited nationally and in local venues such as Sturt Haaga Gallery at Descanso Gardens, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Angels Gate Cultural Center, and Orange County Center for Contemporary Art. She has also been Artist in Residence at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts in Saratoga, Wyoming, and at the Pajama Factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. In 2014-15 Gunlock participated in “Fires of Change,” an NEA-funded collaboration between artists and scientists, to translate the social and ecological issues surrounding wildfire in the Southwest. Following a fire science boot camp in the Grand Canyon, and a year to complete a project, a group exhibition opened at Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, Arizona in September 2015 and traveled to the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Based in Long Beach, Gunlock is a traveler who imbeds her wanderings into the artmaking process. With an attraction to crevices, old-growth and decay, she photographically collects imagery such as the gnarled oaks and cemetery crypts of New Orleans, lichen-covered slate rock cliffs of Pennsylvania, and the beautifully decaying Beaux-Arts and Art Deco buildings of Los Angeles, to later deconstruct and assign new meaning in the studio.
Lisa Ly
Lisa Ly developed a passion for food while working towards her BFA in Graphic Design at Cal Poly Pomona in 2015. After co-developing a pop-up ice cream brand from the ground up during her undergrad and photographing all the best eats in LA, her career has led her to her current role as Graphic Designer and Marketing Coordinator at Sysco Los Angeles. She is responsible for designing art and copy layouts for material to be presented by visual communications media such as menus, books, and packaging. This includes designing and developing marketing support materials including brochures, flyers, promotional videos, and product information distributed by Marketing and Sales departments. In addition, she plays a core role in the planning, marketing, and executing of special events and trade shows for Sysco Los Angeles.
