Parks Exhibition Center
The Parks Exhibition Center is a focal point of the Idyllwild
Arts campus. It is open throughout the year and serves
to enrich the Academy and Summer Program by featuring
the work of students, faculty and visiting artists. The
1400 square foot space was dedicated in 2002 and is a
gift of Elizabeth B. Parks.
During the academic year, September through May, the Parks
Center is an integral part of the Academy's Visual Art
program. It offers students the opportunity to view art
works firsthand in a professional gallery setting. Parks
is an invaluable educational tool, providing a forum for
critical dialogue between the students and artists. It
has become a dynamic part of Idyllwild Arts, hosting readings,
performances and local community events.

Eric
Metzler has been a teacher of photography for the past
twenty years at Idyllwild Arts Academy. Lathing Lilies,
his twenty year retrospective, metaphorically references
the two major influences in his work—the early traditional
work in nature, portraiture and form versus the later
conceptual work in mixed media, sculpture and technology.
The work utilizes broad applications of symbolism, analogy,
exaggeration, abstraction, humor, religion, politics,
and technology.
