"Free" art for the poor college student


The UAM is not the only way get your free art fix on campus.

Other interesting venues to consider are the Design Gallery located by the SSPA building and the Student Art Galleries located between the Fine Arts buildings.

This past semester, some exhibitions displayed in the Design Gallery included "Return to Burma," which documented a CSULB student's humanitarian efforts in tsunami-ravaged Burma, and the "Prague Experience," which featured individual scrapbook diaries of CSULB design students full of Prague architecture sketches and photos.

The Student Art Galleries are rotating in new exhibitions every few weeks from a variety of artistic expressions that include photography, printmaking, sculpture and performance displays. Recent exhibitions are "Hysteria," a curated art history tour that investigates hysteria and Surrealism in art, and an installation by Patrick Ballard that explores pattern recognition, subjectivity of measurement and meditation-- concepts all influenced by particle physics.

Again, there is no admission for CSULB students to enjoy these galleries.
