The Teaching Galleries at CCA do more than showcase art — it's where students develop the important and practical skills needed to become successful artists or cultural workers after graduation. The galleries also help uplift student voices, whether it's through hosting open mic nights or the written Rewind Review Respond series. Learn more: cca.edu/exhibitions

The Exhibitions Department regularly invites members of the CCA community to submit requests for exhibitions that showcase work by and relating to academic programs, faculty coursework, faculty-led projects, visiting faculty, visiting artists and award recipients.

Typically requests are submitted and exhibitions are scheduled during the semester preceding the date of the exhibition (i.e. fall term exhibitions are typically called for and scheduled during the preceding spring semester while spring term exhibitions are typically called for and scheduled during the preceding fall semester).
