The Practical Prep workshops are a series where students will learn hands-on art installation skills. Our mission is to teach students practical skills they will need as practicing artists, curators and preparators outside of CCA, so that all students feel empowered to problem-solve specific installation concerns around their work and create work and exhibition spaces outside of traditional institutions.
