Dear friends,

- Hartnell Gallery will greatly expand access with a brand new website and online access for students, faculty and the community to review all 11 collections gifted to the gallery with additional support by National Endowment for the Humanities.
- The Western Stage continued rehearsals virtually with the purchase of 3 new laptops, software and headsets during the COVID pandemic.
- The Hub provided internships for students to develop virtual art events to support students and the community cope with isolation and provide a platform for artistic expression.

Council for the Arts Recognizes Sandy Rudo

On September 1, 2021 the Council for the Arts recognized Sandy Rudo, Hartnell College Choral Director, for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts. Sandy ventured into unknown territory during the COVID lockdown to keep her students engaged with the ability to perform by creating the virtual choir. She took great effort to ensure students had access to equipment possible for their participation which lead to a collaboration with The Monterey Bay Aquarium on their “Favorite Things” project.
The Council for the Arts develops donor support to ensure strong arts learning and community arts engagement. Funds raised directly support the range of arts learning needs for student success and support programs that serve the Hartnell community on and off campus.
CHAMPION OF THE ARTS Julie Tucker Impacting Hartnell College and the Arts
Student Spotlight: Asheesh Williams

Williams attended Acting 1 & 2, and it was there where he found people from all walks of life with the same goal. Those classes exposed him to nuances of the craft he was determined to pursue, while also paving the way for lasting relationships which have helped shape the direction he has taken his craft.
THE WESTERN STAGE
TWS is awarded Shuttered Venue Grant
UP NEXT: “Noises Off” By Michael Frayn
March 4 – 20, 2022
Called “the funniest farce ever written.” A joyfully out-of-control British farce about the auspiciously titled play-within-a-play “Nothing On,” told in three acts: dress rehearsal, the opening performance and a performance towards the end of an exhausting run. Brimming with slapstick comedy. Step behind the curtain and meet the under-rehearsed and overworked cast and crew as they bring down the house – literally! westernstage.com
