Special Events for Alumni Artists in 2016
Based on several requests from the community in 2016 our Programming Committee decided to open up some of the current residency programs and public presentation opportunities to our large group of alumni artists.
Bring Your Own Art
Alumni artists were invited to present, exhibit or host their event at Art Kibbutz. Many of them used this opportunity to show work in progress and/or finished work.
