Now in its ninth year, the enormously successful CREAM, from the top exhibition will be presented in January 2011, for the first time at the Performance Art Institute. CREAM, from the top draws from the thriving communities of nine Bay Area MFA programs, gathering those candidates who have risen to the top of their respective classes. Creator and curator, Kathryn Weller Renfrow, consistently selects the strongest and most compelling emerging artists, allowing the Bay Area to discover them for the first time. This year's exhibition features the largest number of artists to date, and will expand throughout the spacious galleries at 550 and 575 Sutter Street beginning on January 22, 2011 .
