25 Women Artists Take Over a Los Angeles Underground Tunnel with
HOME MAKERS? Exhibition.
Free art exhibit to take place for one night only on July 12
from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Presenting more than 75 works by 25 female artists,
HOME MAKERS? is the first Los Angeles exhibition to highlight women
makers in a setting free from the hierarchies that segregate fine arts and
craft. Curated by Renae Barnard, this exhibition connects women artists from
diverse communities directly with visitors for one night only, Saturday July 12, 2014from 6:00pm-10:00pm.
Operating outside the traditional art market, the
exhibition will take place in an underground tunnel in East Los Angeles and provide
100% of sales directly to the participating artists. The tunnel walls will
feature photography by Leila May, Maria Garcia-Clark and Cathleen Parra,
paintings by Alice Maldonado, Elwing Gonzales, and Nicole Reyes, illustrations
by Cheryl Angel and Olivia Healy-Mirkovich, and sculptural fiber works by Renae
Barnard, Fang Li, Jacqueline Meyers-Cho, Kin Chen and Vanessa Fry.
The
above ground intersection will be temporarily closed to traffic allowing for
installation artists Diana Madriaga, Debbie Carlson, Jaklin Romine and Olga Lah
to literally take over the street. Ceramicists Sharon Hardy and Sarah Hagen
will be hosting vignettes of their work above ground alongside fiber artist
Cara Mullinary, Julie Roth and Julie Kornblum and sculptors/ jewelry designer Robin
Little. Master of Ceremonies Rebekah Waites will be spinning tunes all evening
and introducing a special performance by Jessica Ceballos at 7:30pm.
