August 23–September 24, 2021

Gallery is proud to present Adaptations: Cabrillo Art, Photography & Art History Staff & Faculty Exhibition. Adaptations showcases the diverse range of artwork created by the multi-talented individuals who currently work as instructors and staff in the Art, Photography and Art History programs at Cabrillo College, as well as emeritus faculty and staff. This exhibition gives our hardworking educators and support staff a chance to share their skills and insights into their artistic practice with the Cabrillo students they mentor and the community at large, providing examples of creative adaptations to the ever-changing circumstances of life. More than thirty artists will participate in this dynamic exhibition, presenting work spanning multiple media and disciplines, including ceramics, digital fabrication, drawing, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, video and more.
