The first photo ID card is free to new students; replacement cards cost $5. Chains and lanyards for photo ID cards can also be

The Graduate Lecture Series brings a wide and diverse range of artistic and intellectual voice of both national and international
prominence to the college. Each semester the seven graduate departments (Architecture, Design, MBA Design Strategy,
Curatorial Practice, Fine Arts, Writing, and Visual and Critical Studies) collaborate on generating a line-up of speakers that
promise to provide influence and inspiration to the CCA community. Lectures are at 7pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
in the Timken Lecture Hall on the San Francisco campus and are free and open to the public. All students are strongly
encouraged to attend these lectures.

PLAySPACE, The Paulette Long and Shepard Pollack Art Community Experiment, is a graduate student-run, experimental
gallery. It aims to provide a space for work that is especially appropriate for, and oriented towards, the academic setting in which
the gallery is situated, as well as additional programming and curatorial insight to help interpret and contextualize these exhibits.
PLAySPACE allows for unique opportunities to engage with, see, hear, and appreciate work that may not be granted exhibition
space elsewhere due to its form or content. Please visit our website for further information: http://www.playspacegallery.org or
email: playspace@cca.edu.
