From the gallery: Local pop artist Jon Savage will open his first solo exhibition for the month of December at The Studio Door titled ‘7250’. The show will present paintings and photographs interpreted as personal stories reflecting the visual journey of his life. The title, ‘7250’ is a reference to this timeline combining his birth year ’72 and turning 50. Self-taught, Savage has been fueled by artistic creativity for as long as he can remember. He developed a fascination with media and visual arts during his childhood years. His love for photography, video editing, cinematography, acting and painting propelled his passion. Throughout his Deaf childhood, he remained devoted to educating Deaf people about the linguistic, social, political and cultural issues of the Deaf community by traveling across states and countries to share his experiences. “Art makes the stripes go around,” said the artist in reference to his pop style. In 2011, Savage began creating contemporary art paintings based on people and classical subjects that inspired him by using abstract, bright colors and a clean style. He often incorporates stripes as a base for his figurative work to unify the message of each art piece. Savage has partnered with The Studio Door previously. In addition to exhibiting his artworks, Savage curated the 2017 national exhibition titled Artistry Through Deaf Eyes. The exhibit included the works of Deaf and Hard of Hearing artists. For many patrons, it was their first introduction to DE’VIA art. DE’VIA, also known as Deaf View/Image Art, reveals the Deaf Experience usually incorporating expressions of affirmation, resistance and liberation. “As a San Diego gallerist, I get excited to see artists, like Jon, who flourish over time and not become sidetracked by the challenges of the art scene. It feels like the right moment for Jon to share his work in such a monumental way. This will be the largest solo exhibition that I’ve had the honor to have in my gallery” said The Studio Door owner Patric Stillman. ‘7250’ is on view at The Studio Door (3867 4th Avenue in the Hillcrest neighborhood) December 3 - 30, 2022.

CONCERT: Alice Barnett Stevenson, San Diego’s Early 20th-Century Composer MARCH 24, 2023, 6:30 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. For the first time in nearly a century hear the music of one of San Diego’s most respected yet little known women composers in a musical recital and lecture that brings the past to the present! Musical scholar and soprano Katina Mitchell and pianist Yewon Lee will perform selected works of Alice Barnett Stevenson, an early 20th century San Diego woman composer. Over a century ago in San Diego, the music community was growing and thriving thanks in large part to a woman whose immense talent and international training led her to an extraordinary life in music. Alice Barnett Stevenson was foremost a song composer, and her genre of expertise was art songs for voice and piano. She composed, taught, collaborated, volunteered, performed, and produced within San Diego music circles; her songs were performed and celebrated at local schools and at her home, as well as across the country at prestigious music schools and concerts in New York. Despite the quality of her music, the repertoire has been mostly lost to time, although the echoes of her influence resonate today; after all, the San Diego Symphony was founded in her home. In this lecture recital in honor of Women’s History Month, you will have the opportunity to hear Alice Barnett Stevenson’s music for the first time this century, and to learn her exceptional life story! Live performance with musicologist Katina Mitchell (soprano) and Yewon Lee (piano) in a “lecture recital” format. Visit: sandiegohistory.org San Diego History Center on Facebook

From the museum: MCASD Staff Art Showcase opens this Thursday, December 15, concurrent with Free Third Thursday (10 a.m. - 8 p.m). Every day, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego benefits from the dedicated efforts of our staff, whether they interface with our public in the galleries, or labor behind the scenes, keeping us operational and programmed. Many of our staff members have chosen to work at MCASD because they themselves are artists. We have mounted staff exhibitions in the past, yet these shows were presented in the offices, and the audience was limited to employees. This season, we are excited to feature our staff’s artwork as a community exhibition in our Axline Court.
