Ninth Robert Graham Memorial Student Exhibition Opens at LA Cathedral
Gayle Garner Roski attended the January 26 opening of the ninth installment of the Robert Graham Memorial Student Art Exhibition, which features works spotlighting the theme of “Spirituality in Art” and is on display at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels through Easter Sunday.
In 2012, Roski developed the concept for and curated the first in this exhibition series, established to honor the late sculptor and provide students at Los Angeles-area Catholic schools with the opportunity to have their artwork on view at a prominent public venue.
The renowned sculptor was responsible for designing and creating the Great Bronze Doors for the Los Angeles Cathedral, which opened in 2002. Roski, who served as the chair of the cathedral’s Arts and Furnishings Committee, was involved with Graham’s selection for this monumental commission. She curated the first five exhibitions, before passing the baton to Noriko Fujinami, a long-time associate of Graham.
