| Event Description |
Exhibit runs March23 - April 25. The photo-based and sculptural works in the exhibition examine the history of urban development in Southern California. Working in Los Angeles, Jackie Castillo investigates the relationships between city infrastructure, collective memory and the isolation and anxiety felt by the working class. She documents architectural remnants that reveal the ways that place, labor, memories, and identity become fractured over time. Mónica Arreola approaches similar concerns from the perspective of her hometown, Tijuana. Trained as an architect, she photographs urban developments abandoned mid-construction, revealing the effects of the 2008 United States housing market crash and the financial crisis that reverberated across the border. Closing reception and a gallery walk-through with artist Jackie Castillo on Saturday, April 25, 4 - 7 pm. Talk at 4:30 pm. |

| Event Description |
- Join nationally known artist Kira Carrillo Corser for a lively Silk Painting
Workshop designed for adults — perfect for beginners and returning students.
Over the session you’ll:
- Learn to paint on habotai silk using resist to hold shapes and lines,
- Explore pigment dyes, permanent inks, and layering techniques,
- Follow easy templates or create your own designs (samples provided),
- Practice a small square “experiment” to try techniques before committing.
- All materials are included, and Kira will demonstrate step-by-step in a calm,
encouraging environment so you’ll feel confident at every stage. Each student
leaves with a finished rectangular scarf or wall hanging and a bonus hand-
painted square — plus a complimentary bamboo silk hanger to display or gift.
