UC Berkeley’s Spring Arts and Design Showcase


UC Berkeley’s Spring Arts and Design Showcase:
Experience what’s being “Made at Berkeley”

 

April 3, 2017, Berkeley, CA—Experience the creative accomplishments and original research of Berkeley’s talented students in Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Literature, Film, Media, and Design. A celebration of student creativity is on view across the UC Berkeley campus with a diverse array of final arts and design projects in dozens of presentations, exhibitions, performances, and design reviews. Students will be on hand to discuss their work in locations around the university. The annual showcase program begins in late April and continues through May.

All the work being “Made at Berkeley” shows the breadth of student talent and innovation, and we encourage viewers to visit the online gallery on the new Arts + Design website, to learn more about our student makers.

Read on for event details, locations and times. As schedules are subject to change, please consult department websites for the most up-to-date information.


Berkeley Arts + Design features and fortifies UC Berkeley’s diverse creative culture, expanding arts and design access to a diverse population of over 35,000 students and to the broader Bay Area public.  For information on Berkeley Arts + Design, visit artsdesign.berkeley.edu.
