"PULLEY" Artist Conversation & Potluck In The Park
When
Saturday, Oct 18, 2025
1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Where
Berkeley Art Center
PULLEY: a collaborative exhibition with NIAD Art Center, presents a radical experiment and mutual exchange between artists from NIAD Art Center, a progressive art studio for adults with developmental disabilities in Richmond, CA, and Christopher Robin Duncan.
The show’s punchy title refers both to the physical mechanism that allowed for these works to be created and to the greater concept of a pulley system: a collection of wheels and ropes that operate in concert to lift an object.
Potluck in the park | 1 - 3 pm
We’ll kick things off with a community potluck— bring your favorite dish or drink to share! We encourage vegan and low-allergen options so everyone can enjoy. Surrounded by trees and friends, it’s the perfect way to connect and celebrate!
Artist conversation | 3 - 4 pm
Join us in the gallery for an artist conversation between curator Christopher Robin Duncan and Shawn Sanders, a featured artist from NIAD, moderated by Lucy Zimmerman. Together, they’ll dive into the ideas and creative collaboration behind PULLEY, exploring both process and vision.
