Exhibitions

The Kala Gallery is a light filled 2,200 square foot exhibition space. The gallery presents five to six exhibitions each year in a wide range of media by both emerging and recognized artists. Two of the exhibitions feature new works by Kala Fellowship artists and Artist-in-Residence working in print, digital media, video, installation, photography and book arts. The remainder of Kala’s annual programming focuses on curated exhibitions assembled around a unifying theme, process or media.

CURATORIAL SERVICES
Kala Art Institute can develop small, in-house curated exhibitions for businesses, public facilities, and special interest groups on a case-by-case basis, taking into account available staff resources and the timing of each request. Recent projects have included Kala’s ongoing Milvia/Addison windows display in downtown Berkeley, small exhibitions in city government offices, and a large group exhibition of prints and paintings presented at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, an academic think tank on the UC Berkeley campus.

If you have an interest in these services, please contact Mayumi Hamanaka, Artistic Director, at (510) 841-7000 ext. 201 or mayumi@kala.org.
