Ongoing Exhibitions
Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Gallery, Ongoing
Notes to Future Selves: A Community Engagement Project is a participatory exhibition that invites the community to create artwork in response to the prompt: What do you want the future of your community to look like? Participants are given the option to display their artwork in the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Gallery for the duration of the exhibition.
Inspired by the Museum’s 50th anniversary in 2024 and the 75th anniversary of California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), Notes to Future Selves embraces these milestones as a powerful moment for collective reflection. The exhibition celebrates the CSULB community’s diversity of voices, perspectives, experiences, and visions for the future.
Notes to Future Selves will be updated weekly as artwork submissions are received from the community.
Learn how to participate in the exhibition.
In conjunction with Notes to Future Selves, a section of the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Gallery features selections from the Museum’s permanent collection that engage introspective practices, such as recording everyday events, experiences, or observations in a sketchbook or journal or expressing one’s thoughts and feelings through personal iconography. Featured artists include Hannelore Baron, Carolyn Kleefeld, Joyce Treiman, and Beth Van Hoesen.

Situated throughout the Cal State Long Beach campus, the Art Park includes many historic works of art, including mosaics, murals, and outdoor sculpture. The original collection of nine outdoor sculptures began in 1965 with the California International Sculpture Symposium. Notably, this was the first event of its kind in the U.S. and the first-ever to be held on a college campus.
