NIAD Gallery Exhibition // “With You in Mind / Contigo en Mente,” organized by Saif Azzuz

NIAD Art Center 551 23rd Street, Richmond, CA, United States

Art is as much community as it is individual. We are shaped by those we love and those who love and have loved us. Love and community are intergenerationally woven into us all. Deatra Colbert and Maria Radilla’s work both speak to the ways in which we look to community as inspiration for voicing our own personal experience in this world.

NIAD Annex Exhibition // “Works by Nathan Lam”

NIAD Art Center 551 23rd Street, Richmond, CA, United States

This exhibition features works created over the past five years by NIAD artist Nathan Lam. A survey of the artist's practice, this collection includes works on paper that predate his time in the NIAD Studio. From charcoal still life drawings, to comic style illustrations branded with his signature "Lamic", and generously applied acrylic paintings of mountains inspired by a summer trip to Alaska. We offer a look into the different ways Nathan Lam works.

NIAD Online Exhibition // “I Wanna See All My Friends At Once” organized by Cone Shaped Top

NIAD Online Gallery

Looking through works from the roster of NIAD artists, ideas around bodies coming together under the unifying force of music for release, freedom, self-expression and camaraderie began to emerge. Balloons, dancing, fearless fashion, music, friendship, colorful people and spaces filled with lights, projections and disco balls; all themes that form the ethos of our space. These works highlight motifs and sentiments that conjure the feeling of bliss from celebrating life with chosen families through music.
