The San Diego Mesa College Museum Studies class invites you to an exhibition of artwork featuring the human form. From the Discobolus of Classical Greece, to Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical studies and Matisse's dancing figures, the human body has been a rich source of artistic inspiration. San Diego artists come together with striking artwork in various media that deals with the beauty, strength and passions of the body.

Artworks range from mysterious wrapped figures by Anna Stump, lyrical floating bodies by Misty Hawkins, figurative abstractions by Jeff Clark, and a Houdini-like escape performance by Autumn Hays. Other artists included are Francois Michel Beausoleil, Adrian Collins, Sheena Dowling, Jeanne Dunn, Daphne Hill, Julie Kitterman, David Krimmel, John Rankin and Michaela Simmons. The exhibit was curated and organized by Maria Bolivar, Megan Daly, James Johnson, Kevin Kao and Samantha Nessel.

On Friday, December 4 2009 the public is invited to enjoy Friday Night Liberty at NTC Promenade, the Arts and Cultural District at Roosevelt and Dewey Roads, in the heart of Liberty Station. Friday Night Liberty is a free monthly first-Friday event, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., featuring open artist studios, galleries, shopping and entertainment throughout NTC Promenade.
