'Invisible' Exhibit Captures Unseen Uganda

"Unseen," by artist Ofelia Marquez, ink and acrylic on illustration board.

Student illustrators and those in hybrid art programs will present their first exhibition, Invisible Children, Mar. 1 - 14 at the Laguna College of Art & Design gallery, 2222 Laguna Canyon Road.

The public is invited to meet the artists at an opening reception to be held in conjunction with First Thursdays Art Walk on Mar. 6 from 5-8 p.m.

The exhibit theme takes its name and inspiration from the documentary film"Invisible Children: Rough Cut," which exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda's night commuters and child soldiers.

The public is invited to attend free screening of the movie Mar. 7 at 3 p.m. on campus. Watching the film has inspired students to create artwork and to raise awareness of the situation in Uganda.

Exhibition hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday until 4 p.m.
