FUSION: An explosive collision of artistic energies

The College of the Arts at CSULB come together for the first time to present an explosive evening of entertainment in Fusion.

On Saturday, March 22nd, Students from each division of the College of the Arts will showcase their talents in Art, Graphic Design, Dance, Music, Film, and Theatre throughout the evening.

Producer and creator of Fusion, Patricia Garza, a third year MFA/MBA graduate student in the Theatre Arts Department, hopes to see the event inspire collaboration and unity between the disparate departments of the College of the Arts and the downtown community.
