“Shared Impressions” brings together the work of 15 printmaking students at Laney College whose practices reflect the diversity and vitality of Oakland and the greater Bay Area. The prints on view move between abstraction and representation, exploring themes such as identity, place, memory, and social experience. Working across relief, intaglio, and monotype, the artists demonstrate an exploratory spirit that expands the expressive possibilities of the medium.

#LaneyCollege, enrolls about 14,400 students. Merritt, enrolls about 11,000 with sister schools #Berkeley City College, and College of #Alameda being left out of consolidation schema. Peralta district enrolls a total of about 32,000 students cumulatively, but issues far less diplomas.
