Calling all students, faculty, and staff to participate in New Look, an inclusive exhibition in PLAySPACE celebrating creative contributions from every member of the CCA community. New Look is a longstanding CCA tradition that serves as an opportunity for all members of the CCA community to reintroduce themselves and their work after the summer break.

Artwork drop-off: September 2, 3, or 4, 9am–1pm at PLAySPACE (N21)
Opening reception: September 9, 5–7pm
On view: September 4–24, 2026
Artwork pick-up: September 25 at PLAySPACE (N21)

To participate, bring one work to PLAySPACE during drop-off hours. Submissions may be a physical object, a digital image, or a digital video representing your current creative practice—an artwork, sketch, written piece, reproduction, plan, documentation, or artifact. We'll install your work for you; when you drop it off, just be ready to fill out a brief form and a title card with your name, the title of your work, its medium, and anything else you'd like to share with the community.

Note: Due to expected volume, we can accommodate only one submission per person, and there are size/duration limits by category (see below). Questions? Email [email protected].

Submission Guidelines

All works must be fully assembled and ready to display at drop-off. They don't need to be finished pieces, but gallery staff cannot assemble or complete work for you.

• 2D work: a single object, no larger than 16" x 16", installable with pushpins, nails, screws, masking tape, or binder clips.
• 3D work: must fit within a 14" x 14" footprint and be no taller than 16". If your work needs to be secured in a vitrine, tell us at drop-off; vitrine works are limited to 9" x 9" x 9".
• Digital images: displayed as a slideshow on a shared monitor. Bring your file on a portable hard drive, or bring your computer and we'll transfer it using one of ours.
• Digital video: displayed in a looping reel on a shared monitor. Please include an intro title card at the beginning of your video with your name and title so viewers can identify your work. Maximum resolution 1920 x 1080 (width x height), maximum duration 5 minutes. Bring your file on a portable hard drive, or bring your computer and we'll transfer it using one of ours.
