Galleries

Cal Poly Humboldt is committed to the arts. Humboldt's extensive Permanent Collection of art is on display throughout the university's buildings and grounds. Humboldt hosts two formal galleries on campus in addition to a student-run gallery space. 

The Reese Bullen Gallery is located within the Art Department and the Goudi'ni Gallery is located in the first floor of the Behavioral & Social Science Building. Each gallery is dedicated to providing students with art exhibition and gallery management experience through the Museum & Gallery Practices program.

Check out both galleries on Instagram and the Goudi'ni Gallery on Facebook. To see virtual tours of past exhibitions up at the Reese Bullen and Goudi'ni Galleries, please see our Matterport Virtual Tour Page.

Student Art Gallery

Student Access Gallery

The Student Access Gallery helps Cal Poly Humboldt students learn how real-world galleries function by displaying the artwork of talented student artists from all majors. We help student volunteers gain hands-on experience with art preparation (such as installation work) and gallery administration, and give student artists opportunities to exhibit their work. We provide students the experience and skills that will help them build successful art and museum/gallery careers.
