Stitching Vincent: A van Gogh Inspired Installation
January 10 - February 4, 2023
This year, for the first time, we’ve set aside the month of January as our Project Space to explore experimental ideas and unique concepts with “pop up” exhibitions. The first of these new shows is Stitching Vincent: A van Gogh Inspired Installation.
This installation of handmade works by Turlock artist Hope Werness was inspired by the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. The artist has re-worked details of van Gogh compositions using embroidery on fabric. A selection of works is arranged in an intimate and experimental format, presenting the viewer with a surprisingly different way of engaging with this artist who seems so familiar.

California Dreaming
October 4, 2022 – January 21, 2023
The environment, people, economy, and mythology of California all provide rich subject matter for artists. In the call for this juried exhibition, artists were asked to explore their California dreams, how they see our state, with its promises past and present. The resulting show has a wealth of imagery and interpretations of the theme.
55 works by 39 artists were selected from over 140 submissions. The exhibition includes paintings, photographs, prints, drawings, watercolors, mixed media, pastels, ceramics, glass, and fabric arts. Subjects range from our state’s iconic landscapes to more personal stories of growth, loss, struggle, and wonder.
Juror for the exhibition was Jonathan Bock an artist, business owner, and non-profit leader, with a lifetime passion for the arts. Bock has a BFA degree in printmaking and art history from Indiana University and an MFA degree from California Institute of the Arts. He is owner of Williams Gallery West and Stellar Gallery, both in Oakhurst, and in 2020, Bock founded Yosemite Gateway Art Center, dedicated to community involvement in the arts and cultural tourism. He is president and founding director of Sierra Art Trails, dedicated to promoting artists and artisans in the Sierra Foothills, and serves as executive director of the Yosemite Renaissance, organization, dedicated to promoting the arts in Yosemite National Park and the California Sierra Nevada region
