Saturday, February 28, 7-9 PM
Eight contemporary artists, with curator Karen M. Gutfreund—explore how meaning emerges through layers of material, memory, and language. Working across sculpture, photography, painting, and mixed media, they share a fluency in text and subtext, reflection and shape, mystery and emotional nuance. Through immersive storytelling, the work dissolves boundaries between viewer, subject, and landscape—inviting us to read between the lines and feel the tension beneath the gloss. Meaning flickers between what is said, what is shown, and what is felt—surfacing in bold declarations, whispered narratives, and the quiet shimmer of lived experience.
Featured Artists:
Liz Bloomfield, Natalya Burd, Karen M. Gutfreund, Sherry Karver, Lisa Marie Kwesell,
Lucky Rapp and Jeannine Henebry (collaboration), Jenny Reinhardt, Sawyer Rose, and ZaHaVa Sherez.

Foxes appear in folklore all over the world: in the Americas, Asia and Europe. In folk tales, they are consistently portrayed as anthromorphic creatures possessing human-like characteristics of tricksters, shapeshifters, vengeful seductresses, spell-casters, or messengers from the gods. They appear benevolent, but their benign demeanor is a disguise for their malevolence. “Bewitched” is an exhibition by seven Bay Area artists who have personal affinities for the fox and have created works of art that represent various manifestations of this creature. Whether freaky or kawaii, these foxes will no doubt leave a lasting impression of their magical power on the viewer.
Featured Artists:
Rebecca Fox, Julia LaChica, Priscilla Otani (curator & artist), Harumo Sato, Na Omi Shintani,
Sandra Yagi, and Fumiyo Yoshikawa

GREEN
Arc Gallery & Project Gallery
July 25 - August 22, 2026
OPENING RECEPTION
Saturday, July 25, 7-9 PM
GREEN is an exhibition that explores the myriad expressions conjured by this single word—its colors, concepts, contradictions, and cultural weight.
Green is the color of nature: grass, leaves, renewal, and growth. It is also the color of money, graft, avarice, and desire. Green can signify healing and vitality, but also disease, envy, and unease. It is the hue of photosynthesis, innocence, and emotional rebirth. It is energy, lifestyle, and possibility.
In this exhibition, artists interpret GREEN in ways that are literal, symbolic, or metaphorical. Works explore environmental themes such as landscapes, ecological cycles, sustainability, climate change, or green energy; cultural and social associations referencing money, capitalism, greed, or movements tied to “green” ideals; emotional and psychological states portraying envy, or renewal, innocence, nostalgia, and healing; material explorations through the use of green pigments, recycled or “green” materials, or layered textures that evoke growth and decay; or conceptual approaches with abstract meditations on color, immersive works that dissolve boundaries between viewer and environment, or playful takes on the word itself.
