The Deep Valley Arts Collective is pleased to announce their November group art exhibition titled “Dear America ‘24,” opening at Medium Art Gallery in Ukiah and on display from Nov. 1-23.
“Dear America” will be a gallery exhibition of artwork that explores our country’s current state of affairs.
In September 2020 the Deep Valley Arts Collective held their first exhibition as a fledgling nonprofit arts organization. It was an online exhibition titled ”Dear America” with 12 contributing artists. It was so important to come together as a group during a very strange time, when people needed expression and connection.
Now, four years later, with the upcoming election and current issues facing our country, Deep Valley Arts would like to revisit the topic “Dear America” as an in-person exhibition in November. This exhibition can interpret the theme in many ways including exploring wage disparity, high cost of living, environmental concerns such as fire, flood, and access to water, reproductive health, poverty and homelessness, racial discrimination, equity, drug use, division, misinformation, social justice, politics, mental health crises, and more. We are seeking artwork from varied perspectives.
The Opening Reception First Friday Art Walk will be Friday, Nov. 1 from 5-8 p.m. at 518 E. Perkins St. Beverages and light refreshments available. Wine provided by Saracina Vineyards.
A Community Art Project allows participants to create your own picket sign or writing a letter to America. Protest songs and singing will be by singer/songwriter Stephen Winkle and the Raging Grannies, Come support the arts in our community!
