THE WILD SIDE: CALIFORNIA WOMEN CELEBRATE THE UNTAMED
Elizabeth Addison, Curator & Cynthia Brannvall, Juror
You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.
~Isadora Duncan
To view artwork and catalog, click HERE.
We all have a wild side, whether we stride boldly there or keep it under the radar. Women, traditionally, have been taught to keep their “wildness” under wraps – raucous, adventurous, risk-taking, bold & brave, sometimes licentious, or living outside traditional moral codes. For THE WILD SIDE, California women artists evoke drama, awe, and strong emotions with works that excite visually… and celebrate the untamed!
April 1-May 3, 2022
SHIMMER
Curated Invitational & Regional Juried Exhibitions in two locations.
Abrams Claghorn Gallery, Curated Invitational Exhibition
Laney College’s June Steingart Art Gallery, Regional Juried Exhibition
Curators: Elizabeth Addison & Robert Abrams
Perched at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the West Coast is extremely dynamic and complex. We experience water in its absence, fury, and spiritual significance – from crashing waves and rushing rapids to gurgling flows and gentle splashes. 63 West Coast artists have taken a dive into the deep for Shimmer with works in a wide range of media that inform, inspire, and refresh.
