An eclectic collective of 19 artists embody the unifying theme “Better Together” in a contemporary fine art exhibition (Thumbprint Gallery) from July 3 - August 1, 2026. Free Opening Reception: Friday, July 3, 4-9 p.m. The month-long “Better Together” art exhibition presented by Thumbprint Gallery is guest curated by San Diego based artist Lourans Mikhail. Mikhail, who was born in Baghdad, Iraq and raised in Chicago, Illinois, hand-picked artists from San Diego, Los Angeles and across the country to animate the exhibition theme. “My vision was for people to feel inspired when they experience the numerous ways in which artists exemplify the value of togetherness,” explained Mikhail. Curator Lourans Mikhail is a painter, sculptor, and graphic designer, who spent 13 years as a US Marine. His own work is inspired by his Assyrian heritage, graffiti, comics, anime, cartoons, and fine art. In his art, Mikhail uses diverse media to explore different perspectives and challenge the narratives of socioeconomics, culture, politics, and race. “Being a curator of this exhibition is another way I get to draw on what I’ve experienced in life as an immigrant, a veteran, as a father…but this way I’m doing so through the most creative people I know.” The “Better Together” exhibition is on display at Thumbprint Gallery from July 3 to August 1 from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can also contact the gallery to request a private showing appointment. A free public Opening Reception will be held Saturday, July 3 on Friday, July 3 from 4-9 p.m. About Thumbprint Gallery Since 2009, Thumbprint Gallery is nestled in the heart of San Diego’s contemporary art scene, championing emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery aesthetic is a mix of pop culture, nostalgia, urban influences, and pop surrealism – reflective of co-owners Paul Ecdao and Johnny Tran. The two designed the gallery as a welcoming space for collectors and art enthusiasts to build connections with the diverse creative community drawn to La Jolla. Thumbprint Gallery is located blocks away from the beach at 920 Kline Street, La Jolla, CA 92037. Art lovers who appreciate works embodying this unifying theme will not want to miss an opportunity to meet the artists at the opening reception, free and open to the public. Complimentary beverages and appetizers will be served. @thumbprintgallery @LouransMikhail thumbprintgallery.com Contact: Thumbprint Gallery Phone: 858-354-6294 Email: thumbprintgallery@gmail.com
