Gallery Reception Saturday October 8 1 to 4PM NIAD Art Center Join us at NIAD Art Center to celebrate our October exhibitions! Main Gallery // Feeling Language, organized by Kate Laster About the Exhibition This show is all about comfort text: resilience in everyday words, writing and reading. Expression can also be wordless, the use of line and color as new vocabulary, pushing a thought out onto a surface, making marks and continuously trying to communicate with the world. We tell stories to sustain ourselves and find each other. These messages embedded in art become an emotional telegram– a signal flare Read More ...
During the Feeling Language gallery reception there will be a collaborative print workshop happening with Zach Clark in NIAD’s beautiful art studio! We will be drawing on printed FEELING LANGUAGE ephemera and then making multiples on the riso machine. A copy of each print will be saved to make a unique portfolio for the exhibition. All ages and skill levels welcome!
San Francisco's renowned Guerrero Gallery is opening a new Los Angeles location, and NIAD artist Julio Del Rio is included in the roster of artists inaugurating the space.
Curated by NIAD’s Emma Spertus and Julio Rodriguez with NIAD artists Felicia Griffin, Dorian Reid, and Kiesha White, the exhibition features artists from Cedars and NIAD, alongside artists from the broader Bay Area arts community. Follow the String showcases conventionally trained artists alongside artists with disabilities, blurring distinctions between "insider" and "outsider" art.
Crossover is an apt title for this show, which will showcase the vibrant and newly-connected fiber art scenes of NIAD and Cedars. Crossover is a companion to the textile-centered exhibition Follow the String, on view at Marin MOCA. In preparation for this show, artists from both programs visited each other's studios, and participated in a tee-shirt and doll making workshop at Marin MOCA. T-shirts and dolls from this workshop will be on view in NIAD and Marin MOCA.
In the exhibition What's Cookin?!, you will see food, art and creativity from various NIAD artists. So feel free to pull up a chair in your mind, take a seat at our dinner table, and see what's cookin'! Cooking Corner is a place where artists can share artwork, make art, share food ideas and recipes, and interests they have in cooking, and also cook along with me from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Since we have returned to being on site, Cooking Corner has made its way back to the 23rd Street NIAD studio, where myself and a group of artists meet weekly, and come up with recipes to prepare, prep, cook and serve to the NIAD community.
