This October, our First Free Sunday 11 AM art tour will be hosted by guest curator of (Un)Familiar, Alyssarhaye Graciano.

(Un)Familiar is an art exhibition that uncovers our biases and assumptions around various stigmas including the immigrant perspective, women’s rights, and mental health. Through film, photography, the written word, sculpture, and mixed media collage, each artist uplifts their communities’ various perspectives and experiences. These intimate stories provide a community dialogue that is an opportunity to share healing, relate to one another, and care for the underrepresented.

This August, our First Free Sunday 11 AM art tour will be hosted by artists of In the Artists’ Studio Featuring RREVV, Rachel and Rigel Hunter, and curator Julie Ericcson.

On view May 5 through Nov 12, 2023, In the Artists’ Studio: Featuring RREVV Studio will introduce visitors to the artists behind the Santa Cruz-based design studio, Rachel and Rigel Hunter. Dive into their shared creative process to develop and execute new works by following along with a piece of unique wearable artwork as it goes from concept to raw material, to a collectible object. RREVV Studio will discuss negotiating the tensions inherent in working between the realms of art and design, as well as the pressures that come with being practicing artists who manage businesses to support their work.

Submissions for ArtNow 2023 Unarmed Truth open Friday Oct 7, 2022 and close Sunday January 29, 2023 at midnight.
