C33 Gallery

I’m a Columbia student, and I love having this gallery right there on campus.
It’s a small, but well used space as they’ve curated some really excellent shows here.
It’s a refreshingly informal space-​very, «come in, pull up a bench and enjoy the art!» rather than, «be quick and don’t touch anything-​or talk!»
Many of the exhibits include various interactive aspects. For instance, when the college had the Jack Kerouac scroll of On the Road in the Book and Paper Arts center, C33 curated a show focused on the beat writers. They set up a desk with an old typewriter where visitors could type out thoughts, stories, etc., and then post them to a wall.
Right now they have an exhibit entitled, «Layer Cake: Tales from a quinceanera.» Really excellent show that details the culture and the coming of age behind this latina right of passage.
They set aside a small space for visitors to the gallery to add their own photos of quinceaneras experiences.
Great space that I’d encourage anyone-​Columbia student or not-​to check out.
