Events and Exhibitions
The Department of Art sponsors a full array of free public events at Sacramento State each year including art exhibitions by faculty, students and visiting artists, visiting scholar lectures, the annual Art History Symposium and the end of year Art Ball.
All of the artistic media taught in the Department of Art are represented in the Else and Witt Galleries in Kadema Hall. Most of the shows are designed and installed by Art students. Students and faculty are frequently involved in the University Union Gallery and University Library Gallery exhibitions.
Admission to events sponsored by the Department of Art is free and open to the public.
Students can apply for shows in the R.W. & Joyce Witt Gallery. There are several professional exhibits each year in the Robert Else Gallery. Proposals for the Witt and Else Gallery are accepted each spring semester by the Gallery Committee for consideration for the following academic year.
