Sanchez Art Center, Pacifica-- Three concurrent shows will begin the 2025 Exhibition Season with a reception on Friday, January 17, from 7 to 9 pm. The Main Gallery will feature a "broad-ish survey of the makings of multi-media artist Thomas Campbell," in Shape Shifting and other astral lint balls. Exhibition curator, Susan Hillhouse Leask notes how she immediately connected to Campbell's "distinct expression and interpretation of Do It Yourself (DIY) and to how it reverberated within the San Francisco Mission School of aesthetics and philosophy. Campbell is always playing with language and form. No matter how many times his work shape-shifts, its common denominator is found in the vastness and depth of his creativity." In the West Gallery, members of the Art Guild of Pacifica will participate in a group show titled Ode to Joy. The East Gallery is presenting the juried exhibition, Citizen Joy: Views of Democracy, Gratitude & Aspiration. The community is invited to celebrate democracy with the organizers of Citizen Joy and the artists in the show. A juror and artists gallery walk | talk will take place on Saturday, Jan 25, beginning at 2:00 pm. Additionally, on Sun, Feb 2, 1:30 - 3:30 pm a hands-on artmaking activity will be hosted, with "Freedom Bird" templates and materials provided to participants to create their own vision of democracy - what they are grateful for, what rights and freedoms they hold dear, and what it means to be in harmony with our fellow citizens; this activity is suitable for all ages. Later that afternoon, from 2:30 - 4:30 pm a table talk will be led by Beth Grossman, and together we will explore: How might our world change socially, politically and economically if we acted in harmony with others and lived by the universal Golden Rule? On the last day of all the exhibitions, Sunday, February 9, the closing program will begin at 3:30 pm with an conversation with Main Gallery artist Thomas Campbell. Sanchez Art Center is located at 1220 Linda Mar Blvd, Pacifica, CA. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm, and by appointment, during exhibits (except opening nights).
