The Isla Center for the Arts is about to have its exhibit rotation in early to mid-March: “A Retrospective of the Visual Arts at the University of Guam.” It will not only be the new exhibit but will also be a featured part of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Annual Research Conference as well as the 70th Anniversary of the University of Guam.   

“This will be the featured display during the Charter Day celebration on March 31, 2022. The exhibition will feature the works of former and current faculty and alumni,” comments Velma Yamashita, faculty of the Isla Center for the Arts.  

The planning and consideration that went into the exhibit’s release seemed to have had ample thought put towards it as the timing could not be any better to highlight its release. While Yamashita could not give the specific names of any artists yet, as the list is still under consideration, the efforts going towards the exhibit’s progress speak of their hopes and expectations.  

Other than its release being at such an attention-grabbing time, there will be other efforts made to spread the word of the release.  

“We will disseminate information about the exhibition through the University of Guam media team as well as social media (Instagram and Facebook).  We will also send email digital invitations to those on our mailing list,” Yamashita answered.  

The staff of the Isla Center of the Arts are busy with careful planning. Before the exhibit rotation, people are encouraged to visit the current exhibit to enjoy the displayed works of art.
