Our current exhibition, Alida Cervantes' "El desastre que dejaste," will also be open the evening of the auction. About Best Practice: BES PRACTICE was founded by Joe Yorty and Allie Mundt in 2016. Situated in the historic Logan Heights neighborhood of San Diego, BEST PRACTICE is a not-for-profit art gallery that promotes artists and curators whose work stimulates discourse. Our programming is rooted in the belief that compelling art poses more questions than answers, and that dignity, diversity, and equity are crucial to this commitment. For its first two years, BEST PRACTICE existed at two locations in San Diego — within an institutional glass-enclosed bulletin board housed within the Department of Art, Architecture + Art History at the University of San Diego, and on a Sony Trinitron video monitor installed at Helmuth Projects which screened video works to the street around the clock. In 2019, BEST PRACTICE opened its first gallery space on Kearney Avenue in Logan Heights where more than a dozen exhibitions and events took place. BEST PRACTICE relocated three city blocks in 2021 to its current space at Bread & Salt at 1955 Julian Avenue.

It happens to the best of us. You wake up one summer morning, casually stroll through your home, and are confronted with ants. Ants swarming on the cat food, ants marching one by one into your garbage, ants, claiming a beachhead in your bathroom. Where do they come from? Why are they here? And what can make them go away?

PHES Gallery is proud to host "Impermanence", a gallery reception curated by Ellen Speert “[...] based on the beauty and pain we see in the world. Four amazing artists have created works reflecting life's transitory nature". The show highlights the work of four featured artists who will express, through varying mediums, their personal interpretation of what Impermanence means to them. The show includes work from the following artists: • Andres Amador – a Northern California landscape artist • Michelle Kurtis Cole – glass sculptor • Wendy Maruyama – woodworker, educator, furniture maker, and designer • Kathi McCord – printmaker, illustrator, and a professor of art and film. Ellen Speert, co-owner of PHES Gallery and curator of Impermanence, recalls the words of philosopher Francis Bacon, "We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake." The "Impermanence" Gallery Reception will take place on Sunday, December 5 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at PHES Gallery. The exhibit will be available for the public to enjoy from Dec. 5 through Feb.13, 2022. Gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday 2 p.m. - 7 p.m. or by appointment This event is free and open to the public. More Exhibition-Related Events: Wednesday, Dec. 8 from 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. Dharma talk on Impermanence with Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery Suggested donation at the door: $20. Masks required.“Death is certain and the time of death is uncertain. Before one faces death, one must be well-practiced and prepared. Buddha Shakyamuni taught, “the nature of all compounded phenomena is one of impermanence.” One must be constantly mindful of this. If one has a clear understanding of pervading nature of impermanence, then one can enter the gate of Buddha’s teaching and begin their spiritual practice.” Wednesday, Dec. 8 – Saturday, Dec. 11 Creation of a Sand Mandala by Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery. Suggested donation at the door: $20. Masks required. No reservations are necessary. The public is welcome to come to watch during the extended business hours: Wednesday, Dec. 8 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9 from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11 at 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.Saturday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. Sand Mandala Dissolution Ceremony by the Tibetan Buddhist Monks of the Gaden Shartse Monastery. Upon completion of a sand mandala, the Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery will purposely destroy the magnificent work of art. The Buddha's last words were "All things are impermanent, work out your salvation with diligence." In upholding the principle that life is transient, the monks sweep up the mandala and place the sand in a river, lake, or ocean as an offering to purify the surrounding environment. The ceremony will be followed by a procession to the ocean where the monks will release the sand into the water. Masks required. Wednesday, Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. CANCELLED Artist Talk with Nicolee McMahon on Zen Perspective on Impermanence Saturday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. Artist Talk with Exhibiting Artist, Andres Amador: Andres is a Northern California-based artist. His artwork can span over 100,000 sqft, achievable during low tide. With tight time constraints and big goals, Andres is posed with the question: ‘How does one create from within that which one is creating?’ Exploring this concept of self-creation has brought Andres to investigate natural and human-devised systems of structure and growth.
