SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Lost x Found: Keepsakes Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Join Vroman’s Bookstore for an exhibit where special family keepsakes lost to the Los Angeles fires are reimagined by local designers and artists\, celebrating memory\, creativity\, and community healing. \nLost x Found: Keepsakes Reimagined is an exhibit of Project Keepsake\, which began in the aftermath of the devastating Los Angeles fires when loss felt overwhelming\, and the path to recovery was uncertain. It grew from a simple act of care into a year-long creative collaboration between local artists and families who lost cherished keepsakes in the fires. The project is led by local design leader Alvin Oei\, founder of CMD+Y\, a creative nonprofit that uses imagination to explore social and environmental issues while supporting local communities through art. Through illustration and storytelling\, artists and designers participating in Lost x Found worked closely with families to reimagine beloved objects such as toys\, mementos\, and symbols of comfort that were lost to the flames. What emerged was more than artwork. It became a way to honor emotional memory\, restore a sense of connection\, and acknowledge a part of disaster recovery that often goes unseen. \nThis exhibition brings those keepsakes to life digitally\, displayed in handcrafted fixtures that transform the space into an intimate gallery of resilience and remembrance. Families\, neighbors\, and the wider community are invited to gather\, reflect\, and celebrate the culmination of a year of volunteer-driven creativity. The event will also feature speakers sharing the journey of Lost x Found\, from its beginnings with Design for Disaster Response LA\, to a workshop with ArtCenter College of Design Designmatters\, to the co‑creative relationships that shaped each illustration. Entirely grassroots and built through collective generosity\, Lost x Found stands as a testament to what can grow when art\, empathy\, and community come together. \nFor more information and / or to participate in the project\, please contact Project Keepsake on their website.

SUMMARY:SCCM: Connections Exhibits and Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Connections is a public project produced for the Southern California Children’s Museum by the nonprofit Drawing Together in collaboration with four artists: Karen Godfrey and Mary Duman from Wrightwood and Amy Bauer and Emily Gallagher from Los Angeles. The exhibit and workshops aim to explore our connection to each other and the planet and address social isolation. Research has found that nearby nature can help us feel connected by offering socially isolated people an alternative way of feeling connected and overcoming the effect of low social connectedness. \nJoin Southern California Children’s Museum for several workshops and an exhibit that brings nature\, imagination\, and connection for little ones together! This project is made possible by an Impact Grant from the California Arts Council\, a state granting agency. \nWorkshop: April 27th at 11:30 – Interconnected Wonders \nThe Interconnected Wonders workshop offers cooperative activities to experience a felt sense of our place in the larger web of life on Earth. Children will be invited to connect through a community connection action and imaginative play dress-up activity. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nKaren Godfrey: As a mixed media artist\, I am richly inspired and intrigued by the raw wild beauty inherent in the immense and minute wonders of Life itself. I am informed by the vast sensuality of the rhythmic seasons and cycle of Nature: The Spiral Dance of Birth\, Life\, Death\, and Rebirth. \nAmy Bauer: A lifelong maker\, Amy Bauer is an artist\, designer\, educator\, creator of Fun-A-Day-LA\, and Creative Corps Grantee 23-24. Amy explores environmental themes and ties them into an investigation of the likenesses and frictions between her urban life and her folk art aesthetic. \nEmily Gallagher: Emily Gallagher is a soprano and community-based artist living in Los Angeles. She has performed in the United States and Europe and works to unite communities through the arts through programming that is accessible and engaging for a diverse audience. \nMary Duman: Mary Duman is an experienced ceramics instructor and artist for over 30 years\, who currently serves as a resident artist at Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology. Drawing inspiration from nature\, ancient Celtic symbols\, and the Wheel of the Year\, her sculptures act as portals to ancestral wisdom.

DESCRIPTION:Wander/Wonder features the work of two Los Angeles-based artists: Jeanne Dunn and Sonja Schenk. Both artists depict natural elements in their works that speak volumes about the wondrous and terrifying interconnectedness of humanity and our environment. \nIn paintings by Jeanne Dunn\, the subject is monumental\, awe-inspiring trees and forests. Both large-scale paintings are from her Tangle Tree Painting series\, in which the artist writes “I use a paintbrush like a dowser uses a divining rod.” Using a lustrous color palette\, her works create portals through which we can experience our natural environment e. Dunn’s trees feel like unique individuals who form connections with one another similar to human relationships. These connections are rendered in the way each trunk or branch bends towards one another and in the reaching out of their roots. \nAlthough the work of Sonja Schenk similarly represents the artist’s intense engagement with the environment around her\, these particular bodies of work investigate man-made structures unique to Los Angeles. Schenk’s inspiration for the suspended sculpture titled The End was imagining what kind of ruins would remain in the West once humanity is no longer on Earth. The paintings on view from the New Mountain series are at once serenely beautiful and unnerving–– the saturated hues of the skies hinting at the intense smog in the Southern California air. \nIn presenting the works of Jeanne Dunn and Sonja Schenk\, Wander/Wonder inspires a deeper connection with the world around us\, acknowledges the journey we’re all on together\, and reminds us to be gentle with one another and with the Earth.
