“In Place” Group Art Show

“Toast” by Judith Selby  Lang

For most of my almost twenty year run with the San Geronimo Valley Community Center I have functioned as the Visual Art coordinator, organizing monthly shows in the two gallery spaces of the Center and availing myself of the remarkably large and deep pool of local Valley artists.

Of course, that all changed with the pandemic and we slowly shifted to the virtual realm with online exhibits and Zoom panel talks and presentations.

 

Through October and November, we hosted an online group art show titled ‘In Place’, guest curated by Anne Faught.  The show’s focus was to emphasize the creative possibilities that could emerge from the isolation and necessary acts of resilience during this pandemic.

 

I'm not going to try to recreate that show on this blog but I will provide a peek at what we were up to. So here are just a few of the highlights. (You can probably still find the show on the Center’s website:  https://www.sgvcc.org/in-place/  or Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/sangeronimovalleycommunitycenter/  or Instagram https://www.sgvcc.org/in-place/
