Huge Photographic Images to be Projected on Carnegie Building on May 3

Huge photographic projections of Oxnard community members will be shown on the exterior of the Carnegie Building facing Plaza Park on Thursday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m.
The photos were taken by the California State University, Channel Islands (CSUCI) Students of Casa Mia.
Passersby and those attending downtown Oxnard’s 1st Thursday Gourmet Food Truck Night, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Plaza Park, can catch some of the 40-minute outdoor slideshow.
The student artists will be on hand and the CAM Studio Gallery, with artwork by Jaime Bailon and Dominga Opazo, will be open for viewing.
Casa Mia is a CSUCI art student Capstone project designed to provide outreach and awareness for Mercy Housing and its community members, and to instill a sense of pride in the greater Oxnard community of Oxnard.

The student group meets with willing community members, listening and capturing their stories through photos and videos. Casa Mia then shares those stories and portraits, as well as other works from local artists, with the greater Oxnard community by means of large scale, outdoor projections on historic buildings such as the Carnegie Building, which was built in 1906.
