Event Description

Join us for the opening reception of A Tribute to Pam Whidden: Models are to Artists Like Flowers are to Bees. This exhibition, curated by artists Stephanie and Ken Goldman, highlights the historic impact that model Pam Whidden had on San Diego’s art modeling community. In the early 1970’s, it was difficult to find good models. Pam was an exception: an expressive sitter with a reliable work ethic. By the 1980’s, Pam not only made a living for herself, but also began training friends to be art-models. Through this entrepreneurial effort, she single-handedly changed the art-modeling world by creating The San Diego Artist Model’s Guild. This new guild solved two major issues: ensuring that models were paid a fair wage by artists and that models would show up on time and work in a professional manner.

This exhibition presents three collaborative pieces titled Emotion Portraits and the Power of Radical Listening, Beyond Borders: Anger, Destruction, and Rebuilding, and A Retrospective: Expectation and Reality. Each of the pieces comes together to unite under a theme of solidarity building among difference focusing in on the theme of mental health. The mission of the Collective Voices program is to express the pride we have in ourselves, give young Muslim girls a voice, and connect with others to eliminate misconceptions.
