    ArtCenter College of Design Presents KALEIDOSCOPE: A Reflection of Staff Artwork

    August 28-September 22, 2026

    Media Alert

    ArtCenter College of Design presents Kaleidoscope: A Reflection of Staff Artwork, the fourth annual art exhibition celebrating the creative practices of ArtCenter staff.

    Featuring works across a range of disciplines, materials and modes of expression, Kaleidoscope brings together the distinct perspectives of the artists, designers and makers who help shape the ArtCenter community.

    A kaleidoscope transforms familiar fragments into ever-changing compositions, revealing that each shift in perspective creates something entirely new. This exhibition reflects that same spirit. Each artist contributes a unique vision. Together, their works create a dynamic mosaic of creativity, experimentation, and imagination.

    Throughout the exhibition, visitors are invited to explore each new perspective and discover the richness that emerges when many distinct voices come together. Like a kaleidoscope, the view is not fixed but continually unfolding.

    The exhibition is free and open to the public.

  • NEW PORTRAIT by SEAN CHEETHAM

    I am honored to share with you the most recent portrait I had the privilege of modeling for my dear friend, Sean Cheetham. We had started the process pre-quarantine, so it’s really a joy to be part of the creative process which is something I consider a significant part of my life’s work.

    I encourage you to view more of Sean Cheetham’s work via his instagram, @seancheetham, should you feel the urge. He is truly an inspiring painter.

    Wishing you all well,

    Chantal Menard
