Attendees were treated to an exquisite exhibit of art by LACC students, showcasing their creativity across mediums including photography, paintings, ceramics, sculptures and animation. In addition, students from LACC Costume Design showcased their illustrations and designs for Kinky Boots. The gallery served as a space for guests to immerse themselves in the visual arts before the main event.
