As mentioned above, a few on-campus studios are available for students who need to use the ceramics and metal shops. The primary seminar rooms are on campus in Kroeber Hall and at the off-campus graduate studios at Richmond Field Station. Occasionally an instructor will also hold a seminar in his or her studio. The Worth Ryder Art Gallery in Kroeber Hall is devoted almost exclusively to student exhibitions that change twice a month. Students may also sign up for the White Room in Wurster Hall, which lends itself well to short-term installations, performances, and special projects.
Sculptors also have the outdoor courtyard adjacent to the ceramics shop for showing pieces.
The Berkeley Art Museum reserves space every spring for the MFA show which the curatorial staff selects and hangs. Across the street from Kroeber Hall is the Berkeley Art Museum with its large collections of contemporary and Asian art and a major collection of the work of Hans Hoffman. In its lower level the museum houses the Pacific Film Archive , which holds a large and diverse film collection and regularly screens a broad range of unusual foreign and domestic films. Students receive discounted admission to both the BAM and PFA . Digital Media Lab Students develop interactive media projects in the department's digital media lab.
