Call for Installations:  We are looking for current or past student(s) who are interested in using our storefront gallery at 386 Pacific Avenue to exhibit, explore, and engage the community through any media. Whether it is models and panels from a masters or undergraduate thesis, an installation from class that can be re-adapted to the space, or something site specific, we are open to all proposals.  The selected exhibition/installation  will be mounted for March.

Late Submissions: if you miss the submissions deadline, submit your proposal anyways, as there are future exhibition opportunities!
