ReView: UCSC Arts Alumni Exhibition, on view August 13-September 19, 2026, features 22 Arts Division alumni from the Monterey and San Francisco Bay Areas. Curated by Valéria Miranda, the Sesnon’s Director, the exhibition includes a wide variety of media and techniques highlighting the diversity of contemporary practice of alumni who graduated from 1972 to 2025. This exhibition celebrates the creative path of artists who began their journeys at UCSC: united by shared roots yet defined by distinct paths, the participating alumni reflect the lasting influence of the Arts Division programs and invite our students to envision their own artistic journeys.
