Famed artist Rita Blitt's painting "New Beginnings" was recently installed on the east wall of the Carter Art Center (CAC) at MCC-Penn Valley. The 108" x 56" original oil painting is one of several original pieces donated to the campus by the artist.

Other works include "The Sense of the Sublime," a stainless steel wall sculpture, is outside the main conference room in the Education Center (EC).

Another 5-piece artwork will also be displayed in the EC as well.

Blitt is an award-winning painter, sculptor and filmmaker whose works celebrate her love of nature, music, dance and the spontaneous flow of movement captured in the drawn gesture.

Friends of the Carter Art Center covered the expenses of the covering of the oil canvas and name plates for all donated pieces.
