May 21 – June 30, 2006
The world changed. Political powers grew, economies drained and graphic design went back to its roots. Simplicity and innovation, resourcefulness when budgets are sparse, typography you can read, personality, protest, camp with an art of the street edge, not just the boardroom. Spoken with Eyes is a look at graphic design and what it's been up to since the dots burst. Presented by the Sacramento Art Directors & Artist Club (ADAC).

October 23 – December 2, 2005
This exhibition surveys the work of two artists whose fiber roots began in the early 1970’s. Innovators of the Art To Wear Movement, these artists have continued to work in fiber exploring both cloth and canvas, on and off the body. This exhibition will focus on their work as a conversation between similar objectives while uncovering the relevance the cut and slashed surface has for each individual.
