'Millennials' art is on display at Fallbrook library

FALLBROOK – The Friends of the Fallbrook Library announced a new art exhibit “Millennials” in the community room which will be open through March 1. The exhibit features millennial artists, ages 22-38, many of whom use classical painting techniques to produce contemporary art. A special evening reception will be held Friday, Jan. 25.

The 16 participating artists are Chris Barnickel, Alla Bartoshchuk, Elizabeth Bautista, Sarah Bricke, Jonathan Broberg, Christina Curiel, Joseph Curiel, Alyssa Fields, Alfonso Higareda, Victoria Huff, Cody Jimenez, Jaycie Kim, Julio Labra, Aixa Oliveras, Gabriella Rodriguez and Brittany Ryan.

Most of the artists are professionals or are working on their master’s degree in fine art at Laguna College of Art and Design, Mira Costa Community College, California State University San Marcos or California State University San Bernardino. Only three have previously shown their work in Fallbrook. The exhibit is curated by Alla Bartoshchuk and Larry Miller. Bartoshchuk recently judged the portraits show at the Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook and teaches at the Laguna College of Art and Design. Miller is a local resident and has curated numerous art shows at the library.

The reception, Jan. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m., is free and open to the public. Meet the artists and enjoy music and light bites and refreshments. The library is located at 124 S. Mission Road.
