"When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college — that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"
—Howard Ikemoto, California painter


Several times a year, OGEP hosts evening Fine Arts Showcases, where students are able to display their work, recite poetry, sing and perform. Generally, showcases are held in January, March, April and May.

Volunteers are always needed prior to the Showcase to help hang artwork. If you can help -- even 30 minutes -- please contact Alyssa English, OGEP Volunteer Coordinator at aenglish@neworganics.com.
