An engaging view into the lives of pioneer women woven together through the use of song, dance and real-life experiences. From birth to death, from corncob dolls to teenage brides, from harsh winters to destructive prairie fires, the strength of these women is shown through their incredible resilience and resourcefulness. Told through the lives of Sarah and her seven daughters, Quilters explores the covered-wagon journey to the west, and the important work women did in the settling of the uncharted territories we now call home. Block by block, a quilt of Sarah’s life is pieced together to portray the deepest of human emotion.

From the museum: The exhibition Piñatas: The High Art of Celebration is one of the first-ever exhibitions to spotlight piñatas as a traditional craft and vibrant contemporary art form. This groundbreaking show includes more than 80 works made by Latinx artists and makers from across the U.S. and explores how piñatas are designed, constructed and executed, along with the role they play in modern material culture and in artistic practices. Work by traditional piñateros will be featured alongside the creations of artists who reinvent and reinterpret the piñata to form a burgeoning, expressive media. Made with humor, biting wit and skilled craftsmanship, this is a vital and constantly evolving field for artmaking. This exhibition is guest curated by Emily Zaiden, Director of the Craft in America Center, and is a reimagining of the exhibition featured at Craft in America in 2021.

Brought together to showcase their explorations in portraiture and reflective consciousness, the Hyde Art Gallery’s second exhibition of the Fall 2022 semester, The Living Hand, presents the works of two San Diego artists in conversation. Vicki Walsh’s paintings and Gail Schneider’s sculptures establish a repertoire of provocative, sensuously surfaced forms and character narratives to investigate the human body as visual language and to explore the mysticism surrounding identity. Modeled and rendered through a historical lens of antiquity and classical treatment of media, both artists are drawing upon fundamentalist ideals of portraiture, spanning global traditions, to address important structures of modern society utilizing surrealist, often enigmatic figures. "The Living Hand" will be on view at the Hyde Art Gallery from October 10 until November 10, 2022 at Grossmont College’s Hyde Art Gallery and an artist reception will be hosted by the gallery on October 18th from 5 - 7pm. The gallery’s daily walk-in hours are Monday through Thursday from 10:00am to 4:00pm and closed Friday through Sunday and legal holidays. Student and visitor parking for the Fall 2022 semester is complimentary. Please only use the unmarked white, student parking stalls. Follow on social media! Facebook + Twitter

From the organizers: Celebrating ballet masterworks from the 20th century by the father of American ballet, George Balanchine, and the famed New York City Ballet principal dancer, choreographer, and artistic director Peter Martins. 'Rubies' In 1967, the great Russian-born choreographer, George Balanchine, created his world famous ballet Jewels for the New York City Ballet. The three act ballets all have a different composer and motif. Rubies, with music by Igor Stravinsky, is the second act of the ballet and truly captures the sexy energy and athleticism of our country. The ballet is packed with adventure, fun and playfulness, and the dazzling bejeweled costumes will take your breath away. 'Divertimento' from 'Le Baiser De La Fée' Divertimento from Le Baiser De La Fée (the Fairy’s Kiss) was created for the New York City Ballet for the 1972 Stravinsky Festival. The New York Times dance critic has described the ballet as one of George Balanchine’s greatest and most unusual works. The choreography is deeply poetic and has always moved audiences by its light and shade, creating an experience you will never forget. 'Ash' With accelerated tempi to the exciting music by Michael Torke, Peter Martins, former artistic director of New York City Ballet, launches 10 dancers on a non-stop series of thrilling solos, duets, and ensemble dances that leaves audiences amazed and thrilled.
