Cal Poly Humboldt's Reese Bullen Gallery will host the 2026 Art Graduates Exhibition from April 22 to May 16, 2026, showcasing work by graduating art majors and minors. The exhibition features ceramics, painting, photography, printmaking, small metals, sculpture, and digital arts, with an Awards Presentation on April 30. The gallery, established in 1970 and named after a founding art professor, is located on the university campus.
This exhibition matters because it marks the transition of emerging artists from academic training into the broader art world, offering the public a chance to engage with the next generation of creative talent. It also highlights the role of university galleries in supporting local art education and community access to contemporary student work.
