Ridley Gallery

The gallery exhibits high caliber work of leading regional, national, and international artists, as well as faculty artists, alumni, and students in seven shows throughout the academic year. Recurring annual exhibitions include the Hallberg Award Exhibition, the Holiday Show and Sale, and the Annual Juried Student Exhibition.

Located on the Rocklin campus of Sierra College, this 1000-square-foot gallery was dedicated in the spring of 1998. The gallery is named in memory of Robert Ridley, an art professor who long believed a college gallery would enrich the cultural experience and understanding of students through exposure to local and nationally recognized artists.

An advisory board and part-time director administer the Ridley Gallery and coordinate planning and exhibits. Student workers and Sierra College Patrons volunteers provide staffing during gallery hours.

Now Showing: April 1 – 24, 2025

(UN) EARTHLY – Dan Herrera, Judith Monroe, Alyson Belcher

The Sierra College Photo Department presents a curated exhibition of artists working with themes of nature, land and shared histories. This exhibition brings together three exceptional artists whose distinct yet harmonious approaches to landscapes and the natural world create a captivating dialogue.

Alyson Belcher’s ethereal ice studies, Dan Herrera’s sustainably printed plant studies, and Judith Monroe’s evocative and layered mixed-media creations invite viewers to reflect on our relationship with the land, our shared histories, and what lies beyond the physical realm.

Through their unique perspectives, this show offers a rare opportunity to explore these themes in a thought-provoking and profound way.
