Collective Museum is an innovative participatory exhibition by Portland-based artist group Public Doors and Windows that encompasses 50 sites on the UC Santa Cruz campus. To mark the exhibition's launch, the Institute of the Art and Sciences at UC Santa Cruz is excited to announce a tandem exhibition at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery. The exhibition opens on February 11, 2016, and displays sculptures of each site in the Collective Museum, made by students in A. Laurie Palmer's and Dee Hibbert-Jones’s Winter 2016 public art classes, along with portraits of the students, faculty, staff, and alumni who provided the sites and stories that compose the Collective Museum.
