Cabrillo Gallery is set to launch its Student Exhibition 2026 on April 20, featuring a diverse range of media including painting, sculpture, and photography created by Cabrillo College students. The exhibition kicks off with a special reception on April 19, integrated into the countywide Ripple Effect arts festival, which will include live music, interactive art activities, and a student art sale.
This annual showcase serves as a critical bridge between emerging academic talent and the broader Santa Cruz arts community. By participating in a large-scale regional festival, the exhibition provides students with professional exposure and commercial opportunities while reinforcing the local commitment to nurturing the next generation of visual artists.
