CCA Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice

Last week, our graduate students in Curatorial Practice sat down with Anthony Huberman, Director and Chief Curator, and Calen Barca-Hall, Head of Installation and Exhibition Design, at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts to discuss the conceptual and practical makings of the Cinthia Marcelle’s exhibition "A morta." These intimate gatherings with curators and administrators at institutions in the Bay Area are part of an ongoing series called The Is an Exhibition. The series is organized throughout the academic year to provide our students access to the ideas and logistics of making of exhibitions, exposing them to the complexities of the field of curating.

Thanks to all who came through yesterday for the opening of STORIES WE REMEMBER IN ORDER TO LIVE, featuring the work of CCA MFA Students Narges Poursadeqi and M...axine Schoefer-Wulf in the mimesis gallery at the CCA Dogpatch Graduate Studios! This show was made possible thanks to the efforts of Curatorial MA Students Fiona Ball and Yomna Osman, and will remain up through the end of April. Come by and check it out! #ccagradfinearts @ CCA Grad Fine Arts
