The California State University Channel Islands Art Program features an ongoing series of exhibitions in four separate galleries.
Napa Hall Gallery
This bright and spacious gallery is the University’s premier art exhibition space, and hosts a wide range of art exhibitions featuring regional, national and internationally recognized artists. Though CI is located in close proximity to Los Angeles, the mission of the Napa Hall Gallery is to expose students to a diverse array of emerging artists, experimental media, and varied artistic practices—in other words, to bring the artists and creative practitioners directly to the students. Located in the main art building, this space has featured: video projects, architectural models, painting, performances, sculpture, photography, design, and even elaborate neon installations in conjunction with the Museum of Neon Art. The Napa Gallery also hosts the “Campus Crossover Series,” a showcase for cutting-edge graduate student work from CI’s neighboring institution, the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The Napa Hall Gallery is located at the entry to Napa Hall

The Gradwall Gallery
Each year, faculty members confer and select a small number of outstanding graduating senior students who will have the opportunity to develop a solo exhibition for the Gradwall Gallery. Also located in Napa Hall, this setting has become a thriving space for experimental installations and dynamic solo work. An undergraduate solo exhibition is a rare occurrence amongst colleges and universities, and students selected to exhibit in this space also receive a stipend to help complete their projects.

Additional exhibitions include the CI Faculty Collaborations series, held in the spring semester and Artist-Teacher, held in the fall. Faculty members have been regularly included in the Broome exhibition program, as both curators and artists.
