The College of the Canyons Art Gallery will exhibit the work of Brad Howe, an internationally known sculptor through Oct. 23.

"Brad Howe is a tremendously talented artist creating monumental sculpture, mobiles, floor pieces and wall-mounted artwork fabricated from stainless steel, steel, aluminum and painted with highly colorful enamels," said Larry Hurst, director of the college's art gallery. "I have seldom met an artist with his enthusiasm and willingness to extend himself. He will be showing existing work as well as kinetic sculpture specially created for this exhibition."

Howe studied international relations at Stanford University and attended graduate school at the University of Sao Paolo, Brazil, before dedicating himself exclusively to his artwork.

His work has been exhibited in more than 16 countries and has been included in collections in 32 countries. In addition to creating pieces for thecity of Los Angeles and MIT, Howe created a 80-foot mobile for the Georgia International Convention Center and a 18-foot stainless steel sculpture for a corporate client in Bilberach, Germany. Howe recently completed a commission for LARC Ranch in Saugus.

The exhibition and all events related to it are free and open to the public.

The COC Art Gallery is open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Mondays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays (from 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. on Thursday evenings) and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.

Visitors unable to attend during these hours are welcome to call the gallery at 661-362-3612 to make an appointment.
