Exhibiting artists include Chaitra Bangalore, Sue Bradford, Shenny Cruces, Linda S. Fitz Gibbon, Ianna Nova Frisby, Suzanne M. Long, Emma Luna, Shonna McDaniels, Lisa Reinertson, Nancy Selvin, Julianne Wallace Sterling, Shalene Valenzuela, and Amy Vidra.

Erica Norelius: Natural Places & Urban Spaces
March 1 – April 28, 2024
Reception: April 12, 6-9 PM
Erica Norelius’ new series of work offers an in-depth dive into the natural spaces of the Golden State, stretching from the coastal cities and desert areas, and north towards Oregon. The quiet presence of man is often seen in small intrusions such as power lines. As she writes, “This interplay between man and nature calls attention to how man is also an element of change, slowly working upon and changing the natural world.” Equally compelling are her captivating cityscapes, which capture the busy highways and urban street life of Oakland and San Francisco. In all paintings, the force of time permeates the landscape and cityscape, instilling a sense of change, destruction, and regrowth, whether in this lifetime or across the millennium.
Please be aware that this exhibit is located in our upstairs gallery. Access may be slightly limited due to occasional events and classes that occur in this space. To ensure that your visit and enjoyment of this exhibit is not interrupted, please refer to our Programs page.
Photography by Jacob Brody
April 5 – May 17, 2024
Reception: April 12, 6-9 PM
Jacob Brody’s work experiments with the technology of his time by merging analogue and digital photography. He uses digital cameras each with unique aesthetic qualities shaped by the age of the equipment and the types of digital sensors. Each sensor can be equated to a separate film type. Alternative sensors read visual information in different ways, and help produce a rich variance of color and depth in his photographs.
Once his files are polished with software, he prints and frames his work. He designs and builds his own frames to enhance his photography and preserve his art, and his framed artwork exists for viewers as a pool of introspection.
