Celebrate the final night of "The Grand Performance" at our closing reception on Saturday, October 17, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. This closing event is the public's last opportunity to view new works by Josie Marlyn Gomez that deeply reflect on ego death, rebirth, and the weight of grief. Through recurring patterns and cinematic references, Gomez builds a rupture in her generational lineage, exploring the friction between vulnerability and a shield through the motif of masquerade. The exhibition prominently features a hand-crafted mask carved by Álvaro Octavio Muñoz Scott from Jalpa, Zacatecas, the hometown of the artist’s family. A major highlight of the evening will be an exclusive Artist Talk at 6 p.m., giving attendees a chance to hear firsthand insights from Gomez about unmasking, honoring past identities, and confronting the self, followed by a Q&A. Don't miss this final celebration to meet the artist, browse the remaining works for acquisition, and enjoy an evening of art and community. Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served. The materials for "The Grand Performance" were proudly funded through mutual aid support from Campana Studios. Personal Record Gallery on Instagram

What happens when death-care professionals and curious community members walk into the same room? We talk about death. Death Network After Hours is a casual, come-as-you-are gathering where we connect, question, share ideas, learn from each other, and reshape the conversation about death, dying and grief. This is where we lift the taboo—by talking openly about death, asking questions, sharing what we know, and exploring the many end-of-life options that can align with who we are and how we’ve lived. Half death-care pros. Half curious community. Come mix and mingle with death-care professionals, doulas, hospice folks, grief workers, funeral professionals, therapists, artistic healers, and people who are simply curious about death and dying. No panel. No presentations. No pressure to have the answers. Just people in one room, talking to each other about something that affects all of us. Hosted by Death Doulas Selena Jong, Penny Waugh, Sara Tress & Mel McClave Early bird gets the drink! The first 50 people through the door get a free drink + appetizers. Come for the drink.
