Chris Treggiari

Treggiari's artistic practice investigates how art can penetrate the public realm by connecting a wide range of people, neighborhoods, and communities. He focuses on highlighting diverse identities, shared histories, and personal stories through participatory, mobile platforms that encourage exploration from the viewer. Chris has shown internationally at the Venice Biennale, American Pavilion in 2012 as well as nationally at Torrance Art Museum, the Getty, Berkeley Art Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the San Jose Museum of Art, and the ZERO1 Biennial in San Jose. He has received grants from the Puffin Foundation, the San Francisco Arts Commission, the Creative Work Fund, the Arts Commission of San Jose, The Seattle Center Foundation, Oakland Arts Commission, U.S Bank, and the Zellerbach Foundation. His current exhibition, Oakland, I want you to know... is a microcosm of the conversation about gentrification in Oakland and the Bay Area.
