Opening Days Wednesday-Saturday, 12pm-8pm (Academic Year)
Event Description The group exhibition features UC San Diego Visual Arts MFA students in their final year. Participating artists: Jamil Baldwin, Rahul Basu, Sophia Cleary, Walker Hewitt, Izzai Martinez Angulo, Aambr Newsome, erika roos, and Andrew Wharton. The impulse to find meaning in the way an object or image is displayed or housed within a framing structure or device, speaks of our capacity to envision something as whole, in order to understand its context and connect with it. By intervening the frame itself, or that which contains, holds, or supports their images, the artists in this exhibition approach image- and object-making by courageously reversing the value-system of the gaze and reflecting it back acknowledging its implicit performativity. Working across film/video, painting, photography, and sculpture, the cohort’s individual conceptual practices seize the function of the frame to make whole and heal the hauntings of the layered detritus that remains after ritual and life itself.

Event Description Studio ACE Gallery invites artists of all levels and backgrounds to submit work for Common Threads: The Fabric of Our Community, a juried exhibition celebrating the rich, expressive world of textiles and fiber arts. Textiles—among the oldest and most universal artistic mediums—carry stories in every stitch. Woven, sewn, dyed, layered, felted, quilted, knotted, or repurposed, fiber-based materials offer a tactile language that speaks to memory, identity, resilience, and cultural tradition. From the intimate textures of handwork to bold contemporary experiments with fabric, thread, and mixed media, textile art reminds us that creativity is something we all touch, wear, and share. This exhibition seeks works that explore connection—connections between people, cultures, materials, and ideas. We welcome pieces that honor traditional craft, push the boundaries of fiber as a modern art form, or reimagine textiles in unexpected ways. We want to hear your voice!
