The Cal State Fullerton Grand Central Art Center is the result of a
unique partnership between the university and the city of Santa Ana.
Located ten miles south of the main campus in the heart of downtown
Santa Ana the art center is a mixed residential, commercial and
educational complex. The art center is a 45,000 square-foot, half-city
block deep and full city-block long, three-level structure and houses:
live/studio spaces for visual arts graduate students, the Grand Central
Gallery, the Project room, the Grand Central Theater, Watermark Press,
the Gypsy Den Café, a Sales Gallery, classrooms and computer
lab, Community room and computer lab, and a studio and living space
dedicated to the center’s international artist-in-residence program.

Twenty-seven apartments are available for students who have been
accepted into the university MA or MFA visual and performing arts
programs.  Students live and work at Grand
Central. Each resident who rents an apartment is assigned a studio and
parking at the twenty-four-hour-guarded parking structure on 3rd Street. 


One of the residential apartments is reserved for the art center’s
artist-in-residence program. In addition, an 800-square-foot private
studio space is designated for the artist-in-residence. A G3 Macintosh
Internet capable computer is available for use in either the studio area
or apartment.


The Grand Central Art Gallery and Project Room feature exhibitions
and projects by internationally noted artists. We present four to six
exhibitions a year in each space.


The Sales Gallery offers new exhibitions each month. 


Watermark Printmaking is a private business run by owners Andrea Harris-McGee and Matthew Miller. Miller is a master printmaker and artist. He is also the
contracted printer for most of the Grand Central Press projects. The
Grand Central Press publishes limited edition prints, folio editions and
catalogues. The Press project is managed by art center director and
supported by the Grand Central Art Forum.


The Grand Central Art Forum is a group of 20 arts supporters who
provide professional expertise and sponsor exhibitions, programs and
events.


The Theater is centrally located in the building. It is configured
in-the-round and seats an audience of eighty. We are currently
scheduling various performance groups and theater companies to utilize
the theater space throughout the year, including productions presented
by the university’s nationally recognized dance and theater department.
Participating artists in residence also utilize the theatre for
performances, film presentations and lectures.
