About this Event
Join us at Gnomon on Saturday, May 30th for the opening reception of the 2026 Student Gallery Show! Curated by Gnomon Founder Alex Alvarez, the exhibition highlights work created by students across Gnomon’s full-time programs and individual courses.
Explore 36 new printed pieces alongside more than 100 digital works showcasing character art, environment art, hardsurface modeling, animation, visual effects, and more.
This year, we’re also introducing a special stage event before the reception begins. Join us at the Dell Stage for a moderated conversation led by Gnomon Director of Education Max Dayan, featuring recent graduates reflecting on their transition from Gnomon to working in the industry.
The panel will cover portfolio and demo reel development, completing the final term, navigating the job search, landing first studio roles, and the mentorship and career support received along the way. Graduates will also share advice for aspiring artists looking to follow a similar path.
GRADUATE PANEL:
Yanina Perez-Masud – Associate Character Artist – Turtle Rock Studios
Ryan Donnahoe – Character Artist – Giant Skull
Lauren Sumner – Junior Creature Modeler – Industrial Light & Magic
Nichols Kapoulas – FX Animator – Blur Studios
Following the panel, guests are invited upstairs to explore the gallery and connect with students, alumni, instructors, and industry artists while enjoying small bites, drinks, and dessert on the patio.
