Jim Zimpel, Associate Dean of the College of Arts & Architecture and an Associate Professor of Sculpture + Extended Media at Montana State University in Bozeman presents a visual art exhibition in the discipline of Sculpture at the SFCC Fine Art Gallery. Zimpel states, “My work constructs factual and imaginary entry points and rituals-they are the means to process, explore and understand things that are actually, or perceived as, inaccessible.”

For the month of October, the Liberty Gallery features the extraordinary craftsmanship and vision of Dave Gonzo in a show titled “Gaia’s Beauty”. This exhibition showcases Dave's innovative approach to metal work, where different alloys are manipulated into creative and stunning, three-dimensional sculptures that resemble the beauty of which Mother Earth (Gaia) births. Each piece invites visual exploration, revealing a variety of metals and delicate details within the unique world of inorganic elements melded with the breathtaking forms of nature.

At each of the 15 stations that are displayed along a scenic walking path, you’ll find conversation prompts designed to spark meaningful dialogue about what healthy and unhealthy relationships can look like.
