This free art event in San Diego is part of ICA’s commitment to reduce barriers to contemporary art in our community. 4 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. | All-Ages Art Making Join us at ICA San Diego North Campus for this month’s C You Saturday. Create a collage inspired by the materials and forms used by Artists in Residence, David Peña and Ethan Chan. Reflect your unique perspective on healing through layered textures and meaningful compositions of everyday objects. 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. | Performance by Ethan Chan In this durational performance piece by Ethan Chan, Ethan replicates the setting where his father spends his time when he’s unable to go to work. Ethan dresses up in his father’s daily at-home attire and traps himself in a space with nothing but his dad’s favorite food, a microwave, and a television, set to change channels every 10 seconds. In this space, the artist does not communicate with anyone or leave the room, and his only activities are sitting, eating, and watching TV. Thinking about the act of doomscrolling as a modern outlet for loneliness and boredom, a comparison can be drawn to the earlier act of channel-surfing. Constantly flicking through TV channels every few seconds for long periods of time results in both time passing and little to no entertainment or information being absorbed. As a kid, Ethan would sit with his dad (who identifies as a workaholic) on his days off at home while he channel-surfed. When Ethan once asked him why he did that for hours on end, he responded by saying, “what else am I going to do?”. 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. | Panel Discussion feat. David Peña and Guests Mapping Loss: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Grief and Healing Panel with David Peña, Mira Masukawa, and Selena Jong Join exhibiting artist David Peña for a special panel discussion on grief and general healing. Peña will be joined by Mira Masukawa of San Diego Grief Counseling and California Grief Therapy Center Inc., and Selena Jong, certified death doula. 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. | Music by Guest DJ Music selected by David Peña inspired by his exhibition. 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. | Food, Drinks and Socializing We hope to C you there!

For 10 years the farm was not only a place to grow food, but also the setting for events celebrating different cultures and communities. But the church that owns the land doesn’t support some of those events.

Sundays, 1 p.m.– 4 p.m. January 12–March 2 (8 weeks, 24 total hours of instruction) La Jolla Studio “Fauvism is not everything, but it is the foundation of everything.”—Henri Matisse Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, and Maurice Vlaminck were the creators of this powerful era in art of the early 1900s. The act of painting itself was at the heart of Fauvism. It was the first movement to insist in explicit terms that a painting is the canvas and the pigments—not the subject. This class will explore the Postimpressionist movement that led to the Fauve movement strongly influencing the art of the 20th century. Leaving behind classic color, perspective, and subject matter, moving into exciting, bold, vibrant colors, spontaneous compositions, and highly gestural application of paint techniques is what we will explore painting in session. A pink sky? Why not! Come join the fun, freedom, and excitement of expressive Fauve painting. This class is for all levels of painters, both beginning and experienced artists. You are also welcome to do your own work. This is a good place to be with other talented painters and enjoy the creative atmosphere here at the Athenaeum.
