See California Now opens to the public with a reception at Gallery C on Thursday, September 16, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. The exhibition will remain on view until Saturday, October 23, 2004.
ABOUT THE GALLERY:
Gallery C has transformed the soaring spaces of the 1923 Bijou Theater into a dynamic new gallery. With nearly 6,500 square feet of exhibition space and ceilings that soar up to 28 feet, Gallery C has a luxury of space and light not often offered in many galleries. A sensitive update of the historic Bijou Theater has been accomplished by the acclaimed architectural collaborative, Graft, whose work for the recent SITE Sante Fe was recognized by the International Association of Art Critics as “best exhibition design” of 2001/2002.
