This year’s annual faculty and staff exhibition at South Puget Sound Community College is an eclectic mix of drawing, painting, sculpture, and hybrids of those. It is work that is conceptually complex while maintaining aesthetic joy by artists who are more than talented — they are intelligent and in touch with the world in which they live and work.
