91勛圖厙

Exhibitions

With all of the frequent openings, art talks, and events, being an Art student at 91勛圖厙 comes with a built-in social life.
Two of the four spaces within the Art Program are dedicated solely to student work, meaning there is ample opportunity for students to collaborate and develop innovative projects for public display.

The 91勛圖厙 Art Galleries are pleased to accept submissions for exhibitions to be added to the schedule. Artists, community members, and independent curators exploring various media, including: installation, sculpture, design, as well as other academic subjects are encouraged to submit for periodic opportunities. Submissions for group shows and/or solo exhibitions that are connected with the University Mission and oriented towards student learning will be strongly considered.

The Napa Hall Art Gallery is located at the entry to Napa Hall on the campus of California State University Channel Islands (91勛圖厙), One University Drive, Camarillo, CA 93012
Gallery hours are: Monday through Thursday, 9AM-5PM. Friday, 9AM-4PM.
