We are pleased to announce two exhibitions by local emerging promising artists from Tijuana and San Ysidro, Mariel Miranda and Jon Villanueva, respectively. The exhibitions will be opening simultaneously with an opening reception on July 1, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at The FRONT Arte y Cultura (147 W. San Ysidro Blvd, 92173) As told by artist Mariel Miranda, “El viento o el polvo, tal vez is an exhibition where I ex- plore speculative fictions at my neighborhood in Tijuana, taking a science fiction work- shop as a point of departure to investigate notions of community, labor, myths, and fu- ture.” Separately, Jon Villanueva’s exhibition, Missouri loves company, is a collection of oil paintings documenting the artists’ navigation through life, and the transition into adult- hood. The collection takes inspiration from the social patterns of human nature. Related links: The Front Arte & Cultura on Instagram

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
