- Alvalyn Lundgren, Graphic Designer, Educator, new ACX Faculty Representative, and CMC alum- Congratulations go out to Alvalyn Lundgren on being elected to Faculty Council to represent the Art Center Extension, Adults program.
In her own words Alvalyn wrote in part to the faculty, “I’m looking forward to representing the ACX Adult Program faculty members on ArtCenter’s Faculty Council — part of shared governance at Art Center.
I founded my own freelance business soon after graduating from ArtCenter and developed it into my current creative consultancy by which I serve businesses, non-profits, and independent authors through brand strategy and visual design.
In addition to serving clients I began teaching part time in extension certificate programs back in 1993. In early 2007 I started teaching full-term courses online asynchronously in additional to the classroom. Subsequently I became an early adopter of the hybrid model which encompasses both asynchronous delivery and real-time classroom experience. I began teaching with ACX in 2017 and currently teach fully online. My ACX courses focus on creativepreneurship and branding for creatives, and attract a student population that’s diverse in generation, experience, education, location, purpose, and focus.”

- Ellen Friedlander- Fine Art and Documentary Photographer
Welcome to my new studio!
After a lifetime of dreaming, several years of planning, and months of construction, I am finally moved back into my Silver Lake home. The movers came just after this photograph was taken, and the sorting and purging is still in progress (the floor is currently nowhere to be seen).
With this big change, comes an exciting new creative chapter. Working alongside my daughter and creative partner, Alexi, this home studio will be a collaborative environment where ideas are realized.
We are looking forward to many shared moments in our new space! Thank you all for being with us on this journey that has only just begun.
Sending Love, Light, and Creative Flow,
Ellen
