Brokers Gallery presents "As Above – So Below," a group exhibition examining the macrocosm and microcosm through figurative and landscape painting. The exhibition explores the macrocosm and the microcosm within contemporary painting. The ten selected artists approach painting through subject matter that ranges from the cosmos to the back garden—moving from tactile works that evoke celestial bodies to figurative paintings that portray the self spiritually, mentally, and materially, grappling with reality and circumstance. "As Above – So Below" presents the universal alongside the transcendental, and the everyday beside the inexplicable. Please join us for the reception: Friday January 9 at 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Free Admission Validated parking is available in the LAZ garage for event attendees.

Open Studio: Farshid Bazmandegan Saturday, January 10, 2026 | 5 p.m. — 7 p.m. Location: CH Visual Art Studio (In the Administration building across from the Museum) The California Center for the Arts Museum invites the public to a culminating open studio with Farshid Bazmandegan, marking the conclusion of his 2025—26 artist residency. This open studio offers visitors an opportunity to engage with Bazmandegan’s research, materials, and work in progress, providing insight into an evolving practice shaped by memory and displacement. During the residency, Bazmandegan has been developing a new body of work rooted in a childhood memory of a painting of a black horse that once hung in his family home in Iran. Through sculpture and digital media, he explores fantasy as a method for navigating exile and imagining return. The works on view during the open studio represent an active phase of inquiry rather than a finished presentation. Bazmandegan will continue to develop this project over the coming year, with the completed body of work to be presented as part of the 2025–26 In Studio Artist Residency exhibition, opening June 5, 2026.
