Student Access Gallery

The Student Access Gallery helps Cal Poly Humboldt students learn how real-world galleries function by displaying the artwork of talented student artists from all majors. We help student volunteers gain hands-on experience with art preparation (such as installation work) and gallery administration, and give student artists opportunities to exhibit their work. We provide students the experience and skills that will help them build successful art and museum/gallery careers.
