✨ Meet our Fall 2026 Student Exhibitions Guest Panelist, Genevieve Williams!

👩🏻‍🎨 Genevieve Williams is the Founder & Director of GW Contemporary, a curator-led contemporary art gallery in Laguna Beach, California, presenting artists from the U.S., Australia, and beyond. Williams is a curator and arts professional with 15+ years of experience across the commercial and non-profit sectors in the United States and Australia and has organized over 100 exhibitions internationally. She previously served as Director & Curator of The Honarkar Foundation, as well as Director of Peter Blake Gallery in Laguna Beach and Sullivan + Strumpf in Sydney.

🧑🏻‍💻 Proposals are evaluated on conceptual rigor, clarity of vision, and exhibition readiness. Having industry professionals on the panel not only brings a high level of curatorial insight to the process, but also models professional standards for students preparing to exhibit within institutional contexts.

💥 And a huge shout out to our previous guest panelists, Aviva Ruben and Solomon Salim Moore!

🏛️ Aviva Rubin, NCARB, RA, LEED AP, is a NY-registered architect whose work spans architecture, exhibition design, teaching, and curatorial projects.

Aviva co-founded the exhibition design firm “means + methods” in 2022 and strives to integrate human-scale spatial experiences with speculative, social, and cultural dimensions in her work.

🎨 Solomon Salim Moore is the academic curator at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College, specializing in works on paper. He co-directs the AllPaper Seminar, a Getty Papers Project initiative, and oversees the internship program for undergraduates at the Claremont Colleges consortium.

❕Don’t miss the final week of SOO KIM: (Charlie sings in the quietest voice)❕

⚠️🗓️ Last week to see the show:
Tuesday, May 12 - Saturday, May 16
11am - 4pm

📍 VA-G

🌸 SOO KIM: (Charlie sings in the quietest voice), a solo exhibition of new photo-based works by artist Soo Kim. Known for her meticulous process of cutting and layering photographs, Kim’s latest exhibition challenges traditional expectations of the medium as a form of documentation. In this new body of work, photography operates as a site of material and conceptual exploration, encompassing hand-cut prints, paper compositions, immersive slide projections, and collected ephemera. The works reflect ongoing themes in Kim’s practice-impermanence, fragmentation, and the interplay between visibility and erasure.

💁🏻 Organized by CSUF College of the Arts Galleries and curated by Jennifer Frias, Gallery Director/Curator and Jennifer Lee, Curatorial Assistant (Art History, ‘25).

04/30/2026

❗️Don’t miss CAROLE CAROOMPAS: Mystical Unions❗️

🎢 A landmark presentation celebrating the work of trailblazing artist and CSUF alumna Carole Caroompas (1946-2022). Mystical Unions showcases her bold interplay of feminist discourse, mythology, and pop cultural iconography—marking her lasting impact on contemporary art and visual culture.

⚠️🗓️Last day to see the show: Saturday, May 2, 11am - 4pm

📍VA-G

💁🏻‍♀️ Presented in partnership with the Art Education Program at CSU Fullerton. Curated by Jennifer Frias, Gallery Director/Curator, Mary Anna Pomonis, Associate Professor of Art Education/Graduate Program Advisor, and Elise Neal, Columbia College.
