Jeffrey Vallance will present a lecture on contemporary art at 7 p.m. today, at the Conley Lecture Hall in the Phebe Conley Art Building at California State University, Fresno. Vallance’s presentation is part of the 2009 CSU Summer Arts program.

Vallance, who teaches at UCLA, travels extensively to make contact with personalities and objects that intrigue him. He then turns his connections into paintings, sculpture, video, installation, performance and texts. His work has been exhibited in the United States, France, Australia and the Netherlands.

Tickets to Vallance’s lecture are $7-$10 and are available for purchase noon-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 1-5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday at the Fresno State Box Office in the Speech Arts Building, online at www.csusummerarts.org or by phone at 559.278.5109.

CSU Summer Arts is a program established 24 years ago by California State University to provide classes taught by visual, performing, musical and written arts masters who also participate in public presentations and performances throughout each two-week session. This is the 11th consecutive summer Fresno State has hosted the program.
