We have been doing residencies at GCAC since 1999. We have hosted 32 artists so far and our current artist is a graduate of CSUF. This is the first time we have hosted one of our own. Amy Caterina is creating an installation that will be featured in the Project Room July 5- August 24, 2008. She is currently working out of the studio creating work for the installation which will be a combination of video projections, knitted environment and interactive website elements. Amy will also be presenting a series of workshops in July and August for the public to participate in. Please see information below.
