Disability is Diversity Week Exhibition
This exhibition will engage with the entire CCA community to bring awareness, acknowledgement, and celebration of disabled identities during this 2nd annual week of programming. As part of Disability is Diversity week, we would like to offer space to celebrate work from students, faculty, + staff who are:
- Artists in our community who identify as having a disability
- Folks who may or may not identify as disabled who want to present work that has a focus on disability identity or accessibility
We will be accepting any mediums and are facilitating this exhibition in an effort to showcase as much work as possible.
Exhibition dates: February 26 - March 1, 2024
360 Degree Ring Exhibition
The CCA Jewelry and Metal Arts Program’s 360 Degree Ring Exhibition brings together the CCA (students, faculty, staff, alumni, and administration) and Bay Area Metalsmithing Communities to celebrate rings in an expansive way. Our goal is to showcase a minimum of 360 rings that represent the diverse possibilities inherent in finger rings as art and design objects or conceptual ideas. Pieces made from any materials, including precious metals, ephemeral materials, found objects, conceptual pieces, video, and performance, will all be considered.
Everyone submitting work will be allowed at least one piece in the exhibition until we reach capacity. Participation in the exhibition is radically inclusive and will be open to all CCA and Bay Area Metalsmithing Community members, including Bay Area Educational institutions and guilds.
Exhibition dates: Wednesday, February 21 - Friday, March 15, 2024

Rewind Review Respond (RRR)
RRR is an online forum where CCA students reflect on exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and other events presented by CCA. RRR is produced by a diverse team of graduate and undergraduate students representing all four college divisions: editors set the publication schedule and commission articles, interviews, comics, illustrations, and more from a ever-expanding pool of reporters. Designers create new visual identities for each new volume of RRR, and format each piece for publication. If you would like to join the RRR team or have an idea for an article, please email rrr@cca.edu. Learn more ➞
