Graduate Open Studios
The inaugural Graduate Open Studios in the newly renovated UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios
On Wednesday, the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture hosted the inaugural Graduate Open Studios in the newly renovated and expanded UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios—a building that is helping to define the architectural landscape of Culver City and solidify Los Angeles as a global center for cultural and artistic expression. The first open-to-the-public celebration drew an audience of more than 800 friends, supporters, and collectors to the studios to see the M.F.A. students’ work in progress and experience the new environment that Los Angeles-based architecture firm Johnston Marklee created for the education of emerging artists.
Distinguished guests included Margo Leavin; Johnston Marklee founder Sharon Johnston; newly appointed Resnick Chair and art department professor Catherine Opie; interim art department chair and professor Patty Wickman; professors in the department of art Rodrigo Valenzuela and Candice Lin; as well as UCLA Arts alumni, Los Angeles art collectors, and School of the Arts and Architecture donors and friends.
