Drawing and painting
Block printing
Screenprinting and letterpress printing
Embroidery and sewing
Silk Dyeing
Stop-motion animation
Dry Point and Chine Collé Etchings
And much more!


Additionally, visitors will be encouraged to peruse the 14,000-square-foot studios, including a Ceramics Lab, Wood Shop, 3-D Printing Lab, Sewing Lab, Letterpress Facilities, Etching Press, Lounge, Art Research Library, and Print Shop. Next door, visitors can explore the new location for Compound Gallery, including featured artist exhibits, an "Arcade," retail shop featuring local artists, and so much more!

Visitors can win a chance at several prizes with a "passport raffle," interact with artists in their working spaces, and learn more about the community that makes Compound such an enduring, integral part of the Bay Area Art Community.
