Community. Caring. Loads of love and sharp, social commentary art. Conceived and curated by Torrance Art Museum director Max Presneill, this was one special evening at TAM, radiating with a sense of support and jubilant joy even in the face of uncertain (at best) times. LaLena Lewark-Presneill DJ’d; Jorin Bossen and Mark Fisher assisted; docent Katherine Orlin manned the desk.
While art on the wall might suggest “the end” times “…and scene,” this was the start of a really big scene of terrific art – over 300 artworks in all, from sculptures to paintings, photography, mixed media, and everything in between – and phenomenal art loving support with between 700 and 800 attendees. In three short, super fun hours on a very lucky Friday the 13th for all who came, a feast of art and happiness was on the table.
I didn’t get to say hi to all of you – and I missed some works – but here is somewhat of a compilation of terrific art.
If you were there, relive the glorious experience; if you were not, now you can pretend you were.
And share this story! We have no pay wall – so spread the love on and around.
