Jonathan Valdivias in “About Face” at Bedford Gallery

1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, Walnut Creek, CA, United States

About Face, a juried and invitational exhibition, continues the fascinating tradition of creating portraits, using a contemporary lens to speculate how future generations might perceive the way we value beauty, power, and ultimately what we hold culturally significant. About The practice of creating portraits dates back nearly 12,000 years to the Neolithic era. What began as plastered human skulls has evolved into paintings, photographs, and sculpture that not only capture the likeness of an individual, but also provide clues about the cultural and societal context in which the person lived.

Friday July 7 //  “Don’t mind if I do” with work by Felicia Griffin opens at moCa Cleveland

moCa Cleveland 11400 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH, United States

NIAD artist Felicia Griffin and Executive Director Amanda Eicher will be in person at the opening reception for this incredible exhibition! "Don’t mind if I do" destabilizes rigid ableist and exclusionary museum “best practices” like sparse seating, untouchable objects, dense wall labels, and guards who protect rather than invite engagement. It is a project built upon a framework of flexibility. By welcoming glitches, inviting informality and messiness, and unsettling the hierarchy of objects, "Don’t mind if I do" prioritizes people over artwork and makes more room for us to show up as our full selves.
