On view during open Mahoney Library hours.
The Mahoney Library Gallery is on the first floor of the Herold Mahoney Library.
The exhibit is free, but a $4 parking pass is required. Details at Visitor Parking.
The photos of costumes are from The Collection of Motion Picture Costume Design (CMPD), one of the world’s largest private collections, curated over 35 years by leading Hollywood costume historian and archivist Larry McQueen. Ionic costumes from Some Like It Hot, Ben-Hur, Angel, Masters of the Universe, The Hunger Games, and others are featured. The photos also appear in The Costumes of Hollywood: Highlights from The Collection of Motion Picture Costume Design, co-authored by SRJC Theatre Arts faculty Coleen Scott Trivett and Larry McQueen.
The display cases host a celebration of nearly two decades of SRJC Theatre productions, showcasing props, costume pieces, and student projects from recent years. A shout out to SRJC Theatre Arts Costume Certificate students Blaine Mills, Reynalda Cruz, and Melody Decker who curated the costumes on display.
Special thanks to Coleen Scott Trivett for collaborating on the exhibit and to Larry McQueen for traveling to Sonoma County to participate in the exhibit opening reception and the Author Talkback and Teatime event hosted by SRJC Theatre Arts.
