September 15, 2026-January 2, 2027

In this exhibition of 62 works created by members of the Northern California/Northern Nevada region of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), viewers will be immersed in the flow of a color wheel. Each work—all created in the same size—is monochromatic in design but unique in theme, subject, and construction. Presented together, they create a vibrant spectrum unveiling the world of color that artists throughout the ages have explored.

Valley Focus: En Plein Air
February 16 – May 22, 2027

Since the mid-19^th century, artists have ventured beyond their studios to paint out of doors, exploring and experimenting with light, color, and mood as they work directly in nature. The French term en plein air is used to describe this practice of creating quickly, on the spot, capturing the specifics of a view in real time.  This method encompasses a variety of media – including oil, acrylic, pastel and watercolor – and can take place in the countryside, on the beach, on a city street, or in the artist’s own backyard. In this exhibition, the focus is on the artists of California’s Central Valley and the ways they interpret the landscape, creating works that express their individual styles and perspectives.
