For the first time, the Cal State East Bay Art Department is inviting student photographers from all East Bay colleges and art schools to submit entries in a juried exhibition.

“Best of the Bay Area – A Juried Exhibition of Student Photography,” with as many as 60 images, is being organized by Scott Hopkins, associate professor of art, and judged by Deborah Klochko, director of the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. Klochko has more than 25 years of experience as a photography museum educator, director and curator.

“This will be a very important show and should bring considerable attention to our students and the Art Department,” said Hopkins.

Also this fall, the Theatre and Dance Department will debut two contemporary performances. One is a look at Socrates’ Greek Tragedy, “Antigone,” by playwright Nambi Kelley, the other a musical loosely based on Charles Dickens’ holiday classic, "A Christmas Carol." Additionally, the Music Department will collaborate with the Mid-Peninsula Recorder Orchestra for its annual Winter Gala.
