SUMMARY:Creative Attention: Art and Community Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Creative Attention: Art and Community Restoration\nJanuary 22-May 21\, 2022\nChristine Wong Yap\, Creative Attention: Art and Community Restoration. Digital design. Courtesy of the artist. \nImage description: A digital artwork with a background of light blue at the top\, fading to light pink at the bottom\, and with calligraphy-style text in blue\, purple and pink that reads: “Creative Attention: Art and Community Restoration”. \nAbout the exhibition\nCreative Attention: Art and Community Restoration will feature the work of 18 artists from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The exhibition will showcase alternatives to our chaotic world of stress and anxiety\, through practices of mending\, healing\, restoration\, belonging\, sustainability\, and resiliency. \nSome of the work that will be included in the exhibition looks inward—addressing past personal struggles with illness\, addiction\, and loss. Other artists turn their attention outward to connect with those who are suffering and to find solidarity in our shared adversity. Universally\, what begins in the studio alters the life of the artist\, who in turn brings that change to the world. \nArtists in the exhibition will include: Johnna Arnold\, Lynn Beldner\, Wes Bruce\, Caledonia Curry (SWOON)\, Paz de la Calzada\, Angela Hennessy\, Alexander Hernandez\, Jeremiah Jenkins\, Corita Kent\, Tucker Nichols\, Marcel Pardo Ariza\, Maria Paz\, Jessi Rado\, Leah Rosenberg\, Lisa Solomon\, Esther Traugot\, Christine Wong Yap and Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle. \nThe exhibition will feature several site-specific installations\, including: a wall painting by Paz de la Calzada featuring plants collected in nearby City of Palo Alto Community Gardens; a site-specific collection of Flowers for Sick People\, a multimedia art and health project by Tucker Nichols; an immersive installation by Wes Bruce exploring the meditative and healing properties of water; and Expanding Space Project\, a project that combines meditation\, photography\, and social practice by Johnna Arnold. \nThe Creative Attention exhibition is part of a larger initiative that includes artist residencies\, community art therapy workshops\, and wellness programs. Christine Wong Yap will engage local teens and seniors in a residency project focused on places of belonging in Palo Alto and East Palo Alto\, resulting in a site-specific Belonging Map that will be installed in the galleries beginning in March. Marcel Pardo Ariza will work in residence with the Avenidas Senior Center’s Rainbow Collective\, hosting a series of workshops celebrating intergenerational LGBTQ+ personal stories. Art therapist Anh Tran will work in collaboration with community partners Dreamcatchers\, Stevenson House\, and Palo Alto Housing on a series of free art therapy workshops. Free wellness programs will also be presented during the run of the exhibition. \nSpecial events\nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, the Art Center will provide in-person and online programs: \nFriday Night at the Art Center opening reception—Friday\, January 28\, 2022\, 6-8 p.m.\, FREE\nJoin us at the Art Center for a special celebration of Creative Attention. This event will feature exhibition walkthroughs\, a chance to hear from exhibiting artists\, hands-on art activities\, and a specialty cocktail and cash bar provided by the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation. \nCreative Attention Virtual Artist Residency Conversation with Christine Wong Yap and Marcel Pardo Ariza—Friday\, March 4\, 2022\, Zoom\nJoin our Creative Attention artist residents for a virtual presentation about their work and their residencies in conjunction with the project. \nCommunity Day Celebration—Sunday\, April 10\, 2022\, noon-4 p.m.\, FREE\nThis Community Day Celebration will feature hands-on art activities\, a sound bathing activity with Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle\, and a special drag queen performance led by Grace Towers. Bring your worn clothing and repair it in a special workshop with The Mending Collective\, a collective of artists who wish to create a space for people to come together to learn and practice visual mending techniques. \nAcknowledgments\n\nThanks to the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services\, the Creative Attention exhibition will continue accessibility components initiated by The Art of Disability Culture exhibition\, including audio descriptions and Braille labels. Social narratives will also be provided and available online for visitors with autism. \n\nCreative Attention was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This project is also supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:The Art of Disability Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Palo Alto Art Center is pleased to present The Art of Disability Culture: Artists with Disabilities Dispelling Myths\, Dissolving Barriers\, and Disrupting Prejudice September 11-December 11\, 2021. At the heart of this exhibition is a robust celebration of the diverse\, personal\, and infinitely varied “disability experience.” \nEach of the 20 artists featured has one or more disabilities\, whether visible or invisible\, and the exhibition centers upon their creativity\, vulnerability\, and unique perspectives. The exhibition celebrates how disability culture can strengthen our communities through the practices of interdependence\, accessibility\, and inclusion. \nWork in the exhibition ranges from mixed-media pieces by Katherine Sherwood\, who had to re-imagine her painting practice after a stroke\, to a series of tactile paintings created during the height of the pandemic by artist Catherine Lecce-Chong\, who lost her vision suddenly in 2018. The exhibition also includes an audio comic by Chad Allen\, ceramics from blind potter Don Katz\, a site-specific environmental installation by Jennifer Justice\, a healing labyrinth installation by blind artist Maia Scott\, and a large-scale sculpture made from discarded materials by Palo Alto artist Matthaus Lam. Other artists in the show include: Bill Bruckner\, Jeremy Burleson\, Lawrence Choy\, Sky CubaCub\, Shana Harper\, Camille Holvoet\, Antoine Hunter\, Cedric Johnson\, Michaela Oteri\, Otis Smith\, Anthony Tusler\, Rachel Ungerer\, and Jennifer White-Johnson. \nOne in four Americans has a disability. And yet\, more than 30 years after the Americans with Disability Act (ADA)\, people with disabilities still face discrimination\, prejudice\, ableism\, and omission. The art in The Art of Disability Culture explores many of these challenges\, and also the defiant\, creative\, and resilient responses of this incredible and diverse community. \nGuest curator Fran Osborne shares\, “Far from presenting a single monolithic point of view\, the artists in the exhibition generously share their own experience and the complexity of their disability identity. Some of the works aim to soothe and heal\, and some may provoke us into rethinking our priorities and reflect upon what we can all do to make our world more authentic\, accessible\, and inclusive?” \nThe Art of Disability Culture exhibition will feature numerous accessibility components to ensure that the broadest possible audience can experience the exhibition and related programs. Audio descriptions will be available for all works of art on view and will also be accessible on the website. Braille labels and audio descriptions will also be available for visitors. Public programs will include sign language interpretation and live captioning. \nThe exhibition will include artwork from Bay Area studio programs that have supported and mentored artists with a broad range of abilities\, including NIAD\, Creative Growth\, Creativity Explored and Palo Alto’s Ability Path.  \nFunding has been provided by California Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. \n  \n
