"Picturing Health" curated by Elizabeth Rooklidge features works by Philip Brun Del Re, Maria Mathioudakis, Bhavna Mehta, Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio, Elizabeth Rooklidge, and Akiko Surai Exhibition runs: Saturday, Nov. 9 - Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024 Gallery hours (during exhibitions): 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. About the exhibition: From the KPBS Fall Arts Guide: Curated by Elizabeth Rooklidge, a curator, professor, artist and scholar on disability in art, this exhibition at Best Practice (inside Bread and Salt) includes work by local artists Philip Brun Del Re, Maria Mathioudakis, Bhavna Mehta, Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio, Rooklidge, Akiko Surai and Christina Valenzuela. Many of these artists comprise the advisory committee for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's "For Dear Life" exhibition (a major historical survey of disability in art) — and it's significant that these living, local artists also have a space and exhibition to showcase their own work on disability, illness and impairment. Each artist brings a unique approach and style, and many will be familiar to San Diego visual art audiences. Brun Del Re's text-based work is accessible, disruptive and delightful; Mathioudakis' sculpture is profound and simultaneously beautiful and disturbing; Mehta's papercut and embroidery works are stunning both in scale and detail; Ortiz-Rubio's murals and large-scale works often play with concepts of physics, memory and time; Rooklidge's recent series, "Sick Women," collects and collages stills of women in their sick beds in modern cinema; and Surai's work draws on a variety of mediums like embroidery, collage, photography, drawing, found objects and poetry to insightfully comment on highly researched concepts like memory, neurology and more. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Related links: Best Practice website | Instagram

It’s heartbreaking to turn families away when they need help immediately. From children to seniors, people rely on our services, and we hope reaching our goal will allow us to support even more individuals in need.” For over 40 years, the Ivey Ranch Park Association has been a beacon of support for hundreds of individuals, both disabled and able-bodied, throughout San Diego County. Among their most impactful programs are the equine services, offering participants the mental, physical and emotional benefits of horseback riding through activities like therapeutic riding, vaulting and Horses for Heroes, a program supporting the well-being of veterans. Beyond equine therapy, the association provides before and after-school care tailored to meet the needs of all children, as well as an adult day program focused on functional skills training, vocational development and leisure activities. They also offer in-home respite care, giving family caregivers much-needed relief. Funds raised at the Hoedown will play a crucial role in expanding these essential services and reaching more families in need. With many families waiting over a year for support, the association is eager to eliminate the waiting list and provide immediate assistance to those who need it the most. These programs are life-changing for both children and adults, and every dollar raised brings Ivey Ranch Park closer to ensuring that no family has to wait for the care and resources they deserve.
