Please join us on Tuesday, March 25th at 6pm in E-242 for a presentation by artist William Powhida, part of the LAGCC Visiting Artist Lecture Series, sponsored by the Humanities Department and supported by the College Association and Division of Student Affairs.

Artist William Powhida's work displays a detailed fascination with the politics of access and the powers that control the assignment of value in the art world. These often humorous commentaries and criticisms are presented in beautiful trompe l’oeil compositions that use various combinations of graphite, gouache, and colored pencil on either panel or paper. He is represented in NYC by Postmasters Gallery, where he currently has a solo exhibition. He earned his BFA from Syracuse University, and an MFA from Hunter College.
