In an age of digital immediacy, what continues to draw us to books? Curt Sherman will share a selection of his one-of-a-kind artist books, alongside the sources that inspired them. Spanning topics from the history of the alphabet and "Katagami" (Japanese stencils) to Walt Whitman and the First World War, his works combine varied processes with text and poetry that reflect each theme. A former professor of design, interior design, and furniture design, Sherman taught for 35 years. He co-authored "Architecture and Interior Design: An Integrated History to the Present" (Prentice Hall, 2012), a standard text in the field. In retirement, he returned to an early interest in typography, studying at Bayside Press and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library Print Studio. His work has been exhibited widely, including the Athenaeum Juried Exhibition, and featured in the 2025 San Diego Book Arts Highlights publication.

Every year, PROUD+ reminds us that there is no single LGBTQ+ experience. Artists arrive with different histories and different reasons for creating. Some wear their identity openly within the work. Others approach the world through a quieter lens. What emerges is a richer picture of our community than any headline or slogan could ever provide. Now in its ninth year, PROUD+ has grown into a Pride season tradition in Hillcrest's LGBTQ+ Cultural District. This year’s exhibition brings together 56 artists from 13 states who share a commitment to authentic creative practice. Their work reflects the simple truth that queer artists continue to shape the cultural life of our communities through the act of creation itself.
