Sheryl Bookout’s will address the Judy Chicago Project, an exhibit at Pitzer College’s Nichols Gallery. The exhibit is directed by Judy Chicago and Donald Woodman and features the work of over 70 artists in a collaborative effort to demonstrate their artistic outlooks on the future of humankind. The artists’ works are diverse and include such artistic forms as sculpture, painting, photography, and digital media, among others.
Scripps College’s Fine Arts Foundation, created in 1935, hosts this program as part of its mission to stimulate public interest in art and to raise funds to foster art education and programming at Scripps College. The Hampton Room is housed in the Malott Commons. Founded in 2000, the Malott Commons now serves as the center of many on-campus functions for Scripps students and the greater Claremont community. The Malott Commons is located on the corner of 9th and Columbia, on the Scripps College campus.
