CHROMA

CHROMA is an exhibition and publications project of The Arts at CIIS, fostering pluralism within the field of photography and lens-based media by supporting the work of emerging artists of African, Latino, Native American, Middle Eastern, North African, Asian, and Pacific Island heritage.

• At least eight exhibitions per year will feature the work of artists of color who use lens-based media to raise questions about contemporary experience.
• Each exhibition will be accompanied by a professional publication, which will include work by the artist, as well as a critical essay by a respected scholar in the field.
• This project has an expected audience of 2,000 at our on-campus galleries and 300 at our off-campus gallery. In addition, the publications from all of the exhibitions will be sent to museums, libraries, and galleries around the country.
• The project will use the latest digital print technologies to display work by artists who live in a range of locations.
• In 2010, the pilot project highlighted the work of Suné Woods, Oscar Palacio, Deborah Jack, and Pato Hebert. In 2011, the project features Megan M. Morgan and Wendel White, among many others.
