HOME MAKERS? Exhibition: 25 Women Artists
Take Over a Los Angeles Underground Tunnel

July 12, 2014 6:00pm-10:00pm

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 from 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 designers
Terina Nicole and Robin Little. Master of Ceremonies Rebekah Waites will be
spinning tunes all evening and introducing a special performance by Jessica
Ceballos at 7:30pm.
