SJCC alumni, Andy Nguyen\u2019s photography exhibit \u201cNew Door\u201d takes residence in the Carmen Castellano Fine Art Gallery until Sept. 26. Nguyen currently attends San Jose State University, pursuing his Bachelor in Fine Arts.\u00a0 He is a passionate artist striving to portray reality through photography.<\/p>\n

Nguyen said, “First I would like to take this time to express my deep appreciation to Dr. Byron Breland and Professor Eve Mathias, Gallery Coordinator at SJCC and former professor for allowing his art to be viewed in the Carmen Castellano Fine Arts room, SJCC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nguyen said, \u201cArt is art, passion is photography. \u00a0It\u2019s like a reality life.\u201d His progression in art goes back to receiving the 2006 Best of Show Award, which was printed in the City College Times Newspaper previously.<\/p>\n

Apparently, it took over 2 years to reserve the room.<\/p>\n

This was a special event in honor of the children with disabilities in Vietnam and earthquake survivors of Nepal.\u00a0 The exhibition presents images of life in many different perspectives such as landscape, nature and people.\u00a0 The event was Nguyen\u2019s fifth time presenting an art exhibit where all his net proceeds go to assist the children affected.\u00a0 The non-profit organization aligned with this event is BeCause.<\/p>\n

Trisha La, the Events and Public Relations Director of BeCause had much appreciation to say about the exhibit along with Nguyen\u2019s effort to support their organization.<\/p>\n

La said, \u201cThe non-profit organization was formed by a young group of professionals whom focused on assisting Vietnam villages with school supplies, water filtration system, building bridges, they\u2019ve assisted more than 4000 students, towns and murals; with the last two years concentrating on school funding to help educate the children for better futures.\u00a0 BeCause will be holding their first charitable event on Oct. 23 at the Hotel Valencia at Santana Row.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mathias has known Nguyen since 2006.\u00a0 He was just a new young artist but Mathias saw his enthusiasm and determination, as he never gave up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe word for Andy is \u2018Persistence,\u2019\u201d Mathias said.<\/p>\n
