Upcoming Exhibits
The Treachery of Sirens and the Sea
Can't think of a better way to kick off 2026 than with a fun show featuring CA bay area artist Diana Hartman. Sirens have long been mythological symbols of danger but also are known for their alluring qualities. While most of us know the common human top half and fish bottom half variety, very little is known about their even more mythical inverse - the reverse mermaid.
Diana's special sirens live their lives as they please- rejecting norms, categories and assumptions!
Show opens online January 24, 2026

Get Your Own...!
Featured artist Kahla Lewis and friends
Artists are encouraged to play with contrasts, ranging from elegant to the absurd: tiny creatures worshipping oversized desserts, mythical beasts hoarding culinary treasures, pampered pets daydreaming of epic food fantasies, or any other pairing of mouth-watering foods with animals that covet them. Because when a favorite food is simply too delicious to share, one really must insist that everyone else "Get Your Own!"

July/August 2026
Loteria XII, Annual Group Show
La Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, similar to bingo, that uses images on a deck of cards instead of plain numbers. There are 54 images; each has a name and an assigned number. The cards are very colorful and the imagery on them is broadly recognized in all of Mexico, other Latin American countries, as well as European nations.
The most recognized version of La Lotería is the “Don Clemente Gallo” rendition which was introduced in Mexico in 1887 by the French businessman, Don Clemente Jacques. The owners today own the registered trademark and have continued this version through 3 generations with the original artwork remaining the same.
All 54 images of the original deck will be represented in the show. Here is a link to the original Loteria set: http://loteria.elsewhere.org/clemente1/
In addition, artists are creating cards from a second set of Loteria cards #55-108. These works will be small in size. Here is a link to the lesser known set, which is equally fun: http://loteria.elsewhere.org/clemente2a/
