In April and May, the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library will present an exhibition of paintings created by longtime local teacher and Pacific Beach resident Nona Perrin. She will be showing 30 of her color-soaked works (many of them featuring wild animals) in an exhibit she has named, "Let's Get Wild!" Nona loves art and has spent her life immersed in creating, learning about or teaching art. She has evolved her own style while teaching art to thousands of young students in local public and private schools for over 25 years. She also taught art at most of the branches of the San Diego public libraries during that time. In addition to painting (using various media), she continues to study and create work in stained glass, ceramics, mosaics and sculpture. Nona loves to learn, and describes herself as, "Sometimes a teacher, but always a student." Pacific Beach Library on Facebook

Art Produce Gallery in North Park will host a special artist talk featuring the four San Diego-based African American visual artists currently showcased in the exhibition "Lineage + Inheritance." Curated by Kamaal Martin of Art, Power, Equity in partnership with UCSD’s Black Studies Project and Art Produce, "Lineage + Inheritance" presents a trans-generational dialogue between established artists Andrea Rushing and Jean Cornwell alongside emerging talents Mensah Bey and Domonique King. The exhibition, which opened March 13 and runs through April 19, 2025, features new works that frame particular generational perspectives on contemporary issues and the life and liberation of Black people. The artists work across diverse media: Rushing primarily with oil on canvas, Cornwell presenting hand-embellished acrylic prints on paper, Bey creating acrylic paintings oncanvas, and King exploring wood, metal, yarn and textiles. "This exhibition reflects a Black aesthetic grounded in community participation, artistic innovation, and liberation," says curator Kamaal Martin. "These concepts have been explored by artists, scholars, and activists throughout the long history of Black art practices in the Americas." The artist talk offers a rare opportunity to hear these four distinctive creative voices in live conversation, discussing their artistic processes, influences, and the themes that connect their work across generations.
