Alumni Highlight / Shun Jie Yong '18 shows at Art at 801 Gallery

This October, alum Shun Jie Yong '18 exhibited work at Art at 801 Gallery in the 801 Washington Lofts. This is the gallery's 40th show and featured the work of four local artists.

From 801 Gallery, "801 Lofts presents art openings three times a year. The three-story atrium and public space is a gallery, Art at 801, to local and national artists who display their work on an ongoing basis. Art and artisans change every four months to display new talent and media. Gallery openings offer residents and the association a chance to open their doors to friends, family and others who want to support our local art community."

Shun Jie Yong is a portrait photographer "who documents immigrants and refugees in the United States and in Malaysia. His goal is to honor immigrants and refugees, to have them present themselves as they want to be seen, but not necessarily as we typically see them."

This show runs through January 2019.

Photography by Yi Wan.
