Art meets gaming at Sacramento State! 💚💛
 
Meet Zach Winn, a second-year MFA student in the Department of Art, who’s bringing his creativity to life through Dam!, a retro-style arcade game designed for his Advancement-to-Candidacy exhibition!
 
With support from the College of Arts & Letters Graduate Student Success Fund, Zach built his very own arcade cabinet, turning an artistic vision into an interactive gaming experience.
 
And now, YOU can play it! 🎮
 
📍 Nexus Gaming Center | University Union
📅 October 19–30, 2026
 
Stop by, give Dam! a try, and experience firsthand how our students are pushing the boundaries of art, technology, and interactive design!
 
Support student creativity. Play the game. Experience the art. 🕹️✨

¡Bienvenidos a Sacramento State!
 
The College of Arts & Letters was honored to welcome the Morelia Delegation from Michoacán, México, for a special day of cultural exchange, music, and community!
 
A highlight of the visit was a vibrant PergolARTs performance by La Tuna Corazonista de Morelia, bringing the rich musical traditions and cultural heritage of Morelia to our campus! 🎶
 
A special thank you to Brenda Romero, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Spanish, and the Department of World Languages & Literatures (WLL) for hosting our visiting delegation and making this wonderful cultural experience possible!
 
Through the arts, we celebrate the connections that bring our communities together across cultures and borders.

Keep an eye out for PergolARTs tomorrow , you never know what might be happening under the pergolas next! 👀✨
