Kickoff Hamaguchi Print season with an exhibition celebrating the work of Hamaguchi x KALA artists-in-residence! See what alumni awardees Zoe Spikerman, Camila Killion, Khushi Thakkar, and Aris Ruff have created at KALA Art Institute. This professional residency is a creative and financial launch-pad that supports CCA alumni working across print, paper, and artist's books for 9 months after graduation.

CODEX Welcome Party coincides with the CODEX International Art Book Fair and invites our extended print, paper, and book arts communities to visit CCA's new studios and experience works by some of our recent alumni superstars.

All members of the CCA community and the public are welcome to attend our CODEX Welcome Party and we encourage you to mark your calendars and RSVP early for our 31st annual Hamaguchi Visiting Artist Lecture by Alison Saar on March 11, 2026.
