Recognizes CSUF Grand Central Art Center Catalogue

Fifty-two museum publications have gained accolades in the 29th annual Museum Publications Design Competition, presented by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). This competition recognizes and encourages superior execution and ingenuity in the graphic design of museum publications and is the only national, juried competition of its kind.
This year's winners were chosen for their overall design excellence, creativity, and ability to express an institution’s personality, mission, or special features. Competing institutions are divided according to budget: museums with annual operating budgets under $1 million and those with budgets over $1 million.
AAM recognized the CSUF Grand Central Art Center exhibition catalogue:
Cognate Collective: Regionalia
Designed by: Stephen Serrato / ELLA
Institutional budget less than $1 million
Regionalia, a catalogue published by CSUF Grand Central Art Center in collaboration with X Artists’ Books, features text by Karen Stocker, Professor of Anthropology at California State University Fullerton; Christian Zúñiga, director of the undergraduate Fine Art program at the Art School of the UABC, Tijuana, MX; Cognate Collective, artists Amy Sanchez Arteaga and Misael Diaz; and a foreword by CSUF Grand Central Art Center Director/Chief Curator John D. Spiak.
The panel of judges were: Nancy Hacskaylo Senior Graphic Designer, National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Freer Gallery of Art & Arthur M. Sackler Gallery; Bennett DeOlazo, principal, Studio B; and Selena Robleto, principal, Red Velvet Creative.

Vireo - Episode 10
Ice on the Sargasso
As her GCAC artist-in-residence project (2014-2017), artist/composer Lisa Bielawa created the 12-episode television opera Vireo, through a collaboration with KCET.
In episode 10, Ice on the Sargasso, Vireo has escaped Alcatraz (yes, episode 9 was actually filmed at the historic prison) and is riding in a car across the Swedish steppes on her way to join the circus. Oh, and there's a hurdy-gurdy player in the backseat.
What most people don't realize about Vireo is that every episode was capture as live performance. What you are hearing was in realtime, not recorded later in a studio and added to the visual. The performers and crew ran each episode three time through non-stop, with costume changes between each of the three takes. Many of the episodes we recorded in front of a live audience. Our sound team, along with our entire cast and crew, were amazing!
Vireo was the winner of a 2015 ASCAP Award and was nominated for two Emmys.
