Manzanita Gallery

Dates: August 25-September 18, 2025

There’s a special energy in the gallery when an exhibition comes to life. Walls are measured, pedestals shifted, and artwork carefully lifted into place. While this process might seem like a behind-the-scenes task, it is in fact a collaboration built on trust, communication, and shared purpose. Each detail—every nail, label, and light—comes together through the efforts of a team working side by side.

Hanging Together celebrates the Student Assistants of the CSUN Art Galleries, who not only support the work of exhibiting artists but also contribute their own creative voices to our community. This exhibition highlights their personal artwork while honoring the collective spirit that makes the gallery a place of possibility. It is a reminder that every exhibition is more than what hangs on the walls—it is also the story of the people who made it happen, together.
