ALUMNI RELATIONS PEPPERDINE ALUMNI ART SHOWCASE Waves Weekend welcomed a new tradition this year—the Pepperdine Alumni Art Showcase. The show ran from October 18 through November 30, 2014, in Payson Library and exhibited 36 works by 15 alumni artists from around the country. It was hosted by Seaver alumna artist Shannon Celia (‘98), Seaver College Alumni Relations, and the Crest Associates Many of the artists attended the launch reception during Waves Weekend and discussed their art with appreciative visitors. Alumni artists and visitors had much to say about the exhibit. Sarah Attar (‘14) said “it was great to be a part of, and to really build the community of alumni artists. It’s also great to see what others who have graduated in the same or similar major are up to.” Shannon Celia thought “the whole event from start to finish was professional, fun, and most importantly, meaningful. It felt like a great time to share something special with other alumni and their families too.” The Alumni Office is looking forward to showcasing more alumni artists at this annual exhibit in the years to come.
