Like an ever-evolving art project, the Cabrillo College campus has slowly expanded across an Aptos hillside, where it waterfalls down and across Soquel Avenue towards the sea. At the top of the slope, underneath the library and sitting in the heart of the campus in Room 1002, is the Cabrillo Gallery. As the college evolves […]
About The Santa Cruz Art Galleries In my opinion Santa Cruz doesn’t have enough art galleries. Thankfully the galleries we do have are quite good, but we have so many great artists in Santa Cruz that you shouldn’t be able to walk through a neighborhood without running into a top notch gallery. For a list […]
