Pic 'n' Mix: A collection of collections

Cypress College Art Gallery Offers First Virtual Exhibition of the Semester

Pic 'n' Mix brings together collections amassed by members of the Cypress College community. Along with the interviews that narrate them, the collections gathered tell tales of distant places and intimate dreams, passionate loyalties and political lies, and sometimes of great sweetness. At a time when we cannot meet in person, this exhibition invites you to unwrap its "candies," savor new knowledge of old friends, and make new connections.

The exhibition will continue to grow throughout the semester. If you are interested in sharing your collection, please email Cypress College Art Gallery Director Janet Owen Driggs.
