In dim lighting there are two pillars in the foreground, the left one is bright turquoise with pink designs, immediately to the right is a thin pillar that is bright pink with turquoise designs. 2 sets of 2 angle beams, one set in turquoise and the other in pink, are laying on the ground in the background stretching across the floor.

About the CSU ConSortiUm

The newly formed ConSortiUm, a collaborative project of art museums and galleries from the California State University (CSU) system, is pleased to announce a virtual event series that actively engages students, faculty, staff, and communities through visual arts-based dialogue. The inaugural program, PLATFORM, will launched in September 2020 and include six live virtual conversations with contemporary artists, collectives, and curators whose work is critical to current re-imaginings of the art world and the world at large.

ConSortiUm recognizes that CSU students are integral to creating a new future, and is therefore committed to providing access to a multiplicity of voices and inspiration as students discover and nurture their own agency.

All events will be presented live via Zoom with access for all CSU campuses. These events are free and also open to the public.

Recordings of most events will be available for post live-stream viewing and archived by the sponsoring institutions.
