Join us at monca for an opening reception of our two newest concurrent shows! Alternate Visions showcases the work of six award winning Northern California artists living and working in the Davis and Sacramento area. This show presents a depth and appreciation of color, space and time. Uniting the work is an underlying, often quirky, sense of humor, varying doses of surrealism and a commitment to an alternate view of the world around us which is open to the viewer’s interpretation. The work conveys an offbeat, sometimes haunting interpretation of the human condition, primordial dreamscapes, internal landscapes and the essence of light and energy. Produced by Stonewall Alliance of Chico and Museum of Northern California Art, UNFORGOTTEN STORIES features art works of our LGBTQ+ community. Humans are storytellers. It’s how we record the past, learn lessons, make meaning, form identities, and understand our place in the world. Censorship and narrative control of Queer and Trans histories, realities, and futures attempt to bury our existence but when we choose and hold the stories that define us, teach us and sustain us, we choose and hold power for ourselves.
