In addition to 25 catalogs per artist distributed at intake day, additional catalogs will be made available upon request. Catalogs will always be available at various locations around the Bay Area. A list of locations will be posted here. A downloadable PDF of the catalog will be posted here when ready, and we will mail postcards with a QR code of our catalog to our SebArts in-house mailing list.
