Square I Gallery joins with First Street Gallery to present Multiple Colors, in celebration of Black History Month. In this show, Master Curator, Marodeen Ebrahimzadeh, selects from the vibrant drawings, painting, and ceramic pieces created by the artists working out of Tierra del Sol’s progressive studios, Upland Art Studio and Sunland Studio Arts.

This group exhibition includes extraordinarily imaginative landscapes, portraiture, and creatively visualized ideas, by artists Marlena Arthur, Luel Asfew, Anthony Barnes, Wesly Haynes, Jonathan Jackson, Michael Levell, John Maull, Zack Stewart, Antoinette Stroman and delightful miniature ceramic guitar sculptures by Herb Herod.

February 2 – 28, 2019 Opening reception: February 2, 2019 6-9pm
Square I Gallery, 110 Harvard, Claremont, CA 91711

The fair will take place within the private suites and bungalows of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel from February 14-17, 2019. Felix LA will showcase a diverse selection of 38 forward-thinking exhibitors from across the globe, including galleries located in Europe, North America, China, South Africa and Australia.

Felix LA’s mission is to create an intimate fair experience that prioritizes connoisseurship, collaboration, and community. A return to the hotel fair format, in the spirit of the storied Gramercy International Los Angeles at the Chateau Marmont, Felix LA grants galleries an efficient exhibition opportunity while offering the city’s burgeoning collector-base intimate access and maximum flexibility. The informal setting will allow for more extended conversations among collectors, dealers, and artists alike.

Felix LA was co-founded by Dean Valentine along with brothers Al Moran and Mills Moran. The trio have been longtime members of the cultural landscape at large and look forward to bringing their community-driven approach to their homegrown, hometown fair.

Expressions is a group show of 18 artists working out of Tierra del Sol’s progressive studios, Upland Art Studio and Sunland Studio Arts.

First Street Gallery presents artworks inspired by nature, both experienced and imagined. These drawings, paintings and fiber pieces have been created by the artists working out of the progressive studios of the Tierra del Sol Foundation.

Public viewing is available 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily and is included with admission to the Descanso Gardens.

A group show featuring artists from the progressive studios of Tierra del Sol who have translated their subject matter using felt & fibers. This show hopes to explore the connections between work created by artists at Sunland Studio Arts who utilize looms and various needlecraft to consistently create dynamic textile pieces as well as pieces that find their origins in The Felt Project, a recent collaboration with Pomona college in which 28 artists shown by First Street Gallery explored felt as a medium for art production, creating dozens of unique works that were shown in the Chan Gallery at Pomona College.

More than 330,000 Californians with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities live in our state; they are our neighbors, classmates, coworkers, family, and friends; however, their support structure has been grossly underfunded and is failing. Direct support staff are quitting the field or working multiple jobs due to low wages, essential programs are closing throughout the state, and individuals are forced to live with inadequate supports or without supports at all.

Join us for our biggest fundraiser of the year!  Tee Off for Tierra 12th Annual Golf Tournament, Dinner, Auction & Raffle.  

Proceeds raised benefit the men and women with developmental disabilities Tierra del Sol serves through Workforce Development, College to Career, and Careers in the Arts.
