Juror: Gary Lang
Gary Lang has a MFA from Yale University and received his BFA from California Institute of the Arts. He also studied at Chouinard Art Institute. He’s won numerous awards and grants including the Fulbright/Hayes Travel Grant, National Endowment for the Arts, Whitney Museum of American Art Studio grant and more.
In addition to teaching at Claremont, Gary has taught at Columbia, Yale University, UCLA, School of Visual Arts in NYC among others. As an educator, he wanted the students to “feel the power within themselves” to create. He is a contemporary painter with a respect for all art forms. Says Lang, “It’s not the subject…it’s how the artist interacts with the surface…it’s more than talent…it’s the artist being present in the moment.”
