The RC Art Gallery is a vibrant space that celebrates creativity and artistic expression within the Residential College. Each semester, the gallery features three unique exhibits. Two are professional exhibitions showcasing renowned artists from across the country, bringing diverse perspectives and practices to our community. The third exhibit highlights the incredible talents of RC Visual Arts students, providing them with a platform to display their work.
The RC Visual Arts Program encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including fine arts, photography, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, cyanotypes, furniture building, drawing, and more, fostering innovation and hands-on exploration.
The gallery is open to the public and visitors are invited to experience the dynamic artistic energy of the RC through these thoughtfully curated shows.

Currently based in Ann Arbor, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.
Amongst the subjects that interest her are human migration, social in-visibility, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time.
Núñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.
