The exhibition features 26 graphic works from three important series of prints done by Jacob Lawrence between 1971-1997. Since his first published print in 1963 Jacob Lawrence has produced a body of prints that is both highly dramatic and intensely personal. In his graphic work, as in his paintings, Lawrence has turned to the lessons of history and to his own experience. From depictions of civil rights confrontations to scenes of daily life, these images present a vision of a common struggle toward unity and equality, a universal struggle deeply seated in the depths of the human consciousness.

This annual non-juried exhibition highlights the creativity of the members of the Larson Gallery Guild. The Larson Gallery Guild consists of 360 members and in 2021, this exhibition had around 65 entries. Since Guild members can only exhibit one piece in the exhibit, members are very selective about their work and choose their best piece. What makes this exhibit special is its variety of media. Many artists use this time to explore and exhibit the result of a new process.
This summer, the largest public artwork in Washington’s state art collection is receiving some much-needed repair. Dick Elliott’s “Circle of Light” is 880 feet long, a little more than 5 feet wide, and made up of nearly 50,000 reflectors comprising a brilliant ribbon of color around the Yakima Valley SunDome. To coincide with this activity, the Larson Gallery will be exhibiting some of his work and highlight the famous Dick & Jane’s spot.
The partnership between Yakima Valley College and the Larson Gallery Guild creates an environment where ideas flourish.
