Poly-kroma is an annual event celebrating the Fine Arts and Visual Communication Design at Cal Poly Pomona's Kellogg University Art Gallery. The program consists of two distinct shows: 2d3d+ (aka a Juried Student Art Exhibition), and Industry Day (aka Senior Students Portfolio Showcase).
2d3d+ is a competitive exhibition that features Fine Art and Visual Communication Design work by students at all academic levels. The jurors, who consist of art, design and curatorial industry professionals, select the best work by students and determine the award-winning entries. This year’s 2d3d+ Student Art Exhibition Jurors are: Fine Artist and Sculptor David Jang, Graphic Designer and AIGA President Patrick Fredrickson; and Student Aluma and Graphic Designer Kathryn Izquierdo-Gallegos.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's show is being postponed to Spring 2021. As a contingency plan for 2020's 2d3d+ on-site exhibition venue, we are hosting a virtual exhibition this year for the first time. This exhibition will launch by Fall 2020 with juried selections of student work. Stay tuned to this site for updates and more info as time goes by.
