The New Children’s Museum is collaborating with artist-in-residence Michelle Montjoy on a new workshop, Community Looms, in the Museum’s makerspace, The Rosso Family Foundation Innovators LAB. The Community Looms workshop, to start Dec. 7 and run through Jan. 9, is inspired by Montjoy’s work in engaging community members to create textile sculptures together. Previously, she has implemented similar versions of this workshop at the Oceanside Museum of Art, Art Produce Gallery in North Park, and Sophie’s Gallery in El Cajon. The workshops at the Museum consist of three large looms, 36 inches in diameter each, in which 6-8 participants work together at each loom to knit material made from recycled or donated T-shirts. Workshop participants will learn Montjoy’s loom knitting technique as well as breathing and meditative techniques facilitated by the Museum’s Teaching Artists. The finished knitted sculptures will then be displayed in the Museum after the workshop series has ended. “Using familiar textile material and joyful colors, these oversized hand-built looms transform what is usually a singular activity into a connected, communal action,” said Montjoy. “Not only do participants get to tap into the calming nature of simple repetitive looping actions, but each stitch in the knitted sculpture physically represents the time and hand of the person who made it.” The Community Looms workshop is free with Museum admission and available in the Museum’s Innovators LAB from Dec. 7 to Jan. 9 at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. every day the Museum is open (closed Tuesdays) for ages 6 and up. An additional drop-in art activity of weaving yarn, recycled T-shirts and natural materials into a tapestry will also be available for visitors of all ages to add their weaving. The artist residency is funded by a $10K grant from the ResMed Foundation to support the month-long program. This workshop is a continuation of the Museum’s collaboration with Montjoy. In September, Montjoy completed a sensory-friendly installation on the Museum’s main level called Breathing Room. Breathing Room invites visitors with calming blue, grey and white colors and hanging textile sculptures that gently move up and down, replicating breathing cycles. The installation is meant to provide a space for families and children to reflect and relax in an otherwise highactivity environment. The New Children’s Museum on Facebook / Instagram

Opening reception: September 11th, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. **Face masks are required for entry despite vaccination status BEST PRACTICE is pleased to announce the opening of El desastre que dejaste (The disaster you left), an exhibition of large scale paintings by Tijuana-based artist Alida Cervantes, made in 2019. Cervantes considers this period both experimental and transitional, a crucial bridge to the work she previously produced and the paintings she is making today. During this period, Cervantes pushed her use of color and pursued a more carefree approach to applying paint. While these paintings align thematically with her broader studio practice - depicting figures in interpersonal or intrapersonal conflict that might be extended to the political - they diverge in their source material. Rather than modeling these works on historical paintings, Cervantes constructs these works from informal sketches inspired by Mexican history, folk art, and culture. Alida Cervantes is a Mexican artist who lives and works in the Tijuana and San Diego border region. Traveling daily between the US / Mexico border, Cervantes makes work characterized by an interest in power relations between race, class, gender, and even species. She explores these hierarchies both at the level of sexual or intimate relationships and on the broad stages of history and politics. Cervantes earned a BA from UC San Diego, then studied at Florence’s Scuola di Arte Lorenzo de’ Medici. She earned her MFA from the University of California, San Diego. Her work is included in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, the Charles Saatchi Collection, London, and the Jorge Perez permanent collection, among others.
