The exhibition – a first for Cal State East Bay – was organized by Scott Hopkins, associate professor of art, and judged by Deborah Klochko, director of the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. Klochko is a nationally recognized juror with more than 25 years of experience as a photography museum educator, director and curator.
“The exhibit will have many examples of the diversity of style and examples of the quality ideas that Bay Area students achieve in their work,” said Hopkins. “All the artwork is outstanding, I know visitors will be impressed.”
One 16-foot tall fabric piece will be hung from the ceiling. Some of the artwork is so large it must be delivered by truck; other pieces are small and intimate.
