Opening reception: 4-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5. Exhibition on view October 2 - 26. "Glimmers of Grace" is a brief survey of the artistic career of Grace Gray-Adams covering works produced from 1976 to the present. An art student at San Diego Mesa College from the first day it opened on Feburary 1964, we are honored to welcome Gray-Adams back with an exhibition that spans multiple themes. As many other older artists, Gray-Adams is grappling with her legacy and the final destination of her works, this is an opportunity for the San Diego audience to get familiar with her work. Centered on spirituality and the female body, Gray-Adams has created pieces such as an installation that exposes sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and a video celebrating the freedom and creativity of twelfth-century nun Hildegard of Bingen. Her artmaking process is guided by a fundamental desire to find ‘glimmers of grace’ in life. Parking is FREE during opening reception, 4-7 p.m. on Thursday Oct. 5. Park in Lot #1 on STAFF spots. Visit exhibit during regular gallery hours, M-TH 12 - 5 p.m. or by appointment. For more information visit: sdmesa.edu
