Camarillo, Calif., April 4, 2007 - The 91łÔąĎ Art Program has announced the opening of a new art gallery, CSUCI Exhibitions. The gallery is located at 92 Palm Drive in “Old Town” Camarillo. The CSUCI Exhibitions gallery will feature an ongoing series of exhibitions by CSUCI students and faculty as well as curated shows of regional, national, and international artists.
The inaugural artists' reception will be held at the gallery from 6 to 8 p.m. on April 19, and is open to the public.
This cultural outreach is a partnership between the CSUCI Art Program and Dr. Michael Czubiak, who has provided and renovated this space in his Camarillo building for CSUCI's use as an art gallery.
The inaugural exhibition “Diverse Explorations” opens on April 12 and will continue through April 30. The exhibition features paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography and design created by CSUCI students. The May exhibition will focus on the work of CSUCI Art Program faculty members, and the summer exhibition will feature award-winning student artworks selected from the past three Annual CSUCI Student Exhibitions.
“Our students are thrilled with the opportunity to exhibit their art in the local community adjacent the University, while the CSUCI art faculty agrees that the range of exhibitions mounted in this new gallery will serve to further educate our students as well as provide the University community and Camarillo residents with the opportunity to view artwork and attend stimulating art events,” said Jack Reilly, chair of the CSUCI Art Program. “We are especially grateful to Dr. Michael Czubiak for his generosity and support of the CSUCI Art Program.”
CSUCI Exhibitions is located at 92 Palm Drive in “Old Town” Camarillo, Calif., 93010. Regular gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
