What
started only six years ago, instantly became a success and thus, an
annual tradition. CHG’s aim was to have the top artists in the New
Contemporary art
scene create all new 12" x 12" works that would be more affordable for
beginning collectors. This way, new collectors could own works from
their favorite artists rather than settling for whatever was in their
price range.
The exhibition was met with huge crowds and marvelous enthusiasm and this year CHG introduces
ACSK VI, featuring world-renowned
artists such as HUSH,
Ben Frost,
Soey Milk,
Josh Agle (SHAG),
Okuda San Miguel,
Hikari Shimoda,
Mayuka Yamamoto and many more.

Q&A with filmmakers Catherine Hardwicke, Nina Menkes, Nancy Richardson, Todd Holland, Randy Haberkamp.
The 1980s. The retrospective closes on the 1980s, a decade in which students moved between video and film learning their craft within an ever-expanding technological landscape. The work produced during these years was as playful, as it was introspective, and students took advantage of the risks and experimentation afforded to first-time filmmakers and entertained—while challenging—their audiences with engaging visual storytelling.
