September 10–November 5, 2022 Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 6:30–8:30 p.m. Artist Panel Discussion: Saturday, October 22, 6–8 p.m. From the museum: Continuum presents an intimate view into the lifework of Faiya Fredman (1925–2020), whose 70-year art career produced an ambitious and eclectic body of work driven by experimentation with unusual formats and unconventional materials. Her large and varied works include paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, installations, and artist’s books. A graduate of UCLA, Fredman juggled marriage and raising a family with the rigors of developing cutting-edge art. Her final body of work combines goddess imagery, vintage puppets, narrative forays into surreal worlds, and hybrid works combining graffiti with botanical imagery. Fredman’s work can be found in many public and private collections, including the MoMA, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and numerous others. Panel information: Join us for a panel featuring Suda House, Robert Pincus, Alfred Pagano, and Allwyn O’Mara discussing Faiya Fredman’s work and processes.

September 6–October 22, 2022 Opening Reception: Saturday, September 10, 5–8 p.m. during Barrio Art Crawl From the organizers: This exhibition is a celebration of the transformation of paper and its importance in many inventive art processes and creations. Paper Print Bind showcases the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library’s extraordinary Erika & Fred Torri Artists’ Books Collection. In addition, it presents a carefully curated array of contemporary artworks made with paper by renowned regional and international artists. The common thread throughout this exhibition is the use of the traditional medium of paper in contemporary practices that empowers artists to bind, print, and create artworks out of paper. All the artists exhibiting in Paper Print Bind share a history of teaching, collaborating, or taking part in the Athenaeum’s collections and classes. Thus, this exhibition serves both to celebrate our alliance with artists in the paper community at large and to feature the Print Studio and papermaking studio in the Athenaeum Art Center in Logan Heights. A major reason for the universal allure of paper lies in its identity and utility as a truly “eco-friendly” sustainable product derived from natural practices throughout human history. Because much of our diverse cultures all over the world are created and shared on paper, we embrace the fragility and eco-friendly nature of paper as a much-needed reminder of our origins in the organic world in this modern technological age.

From the organizers: RAGTIME, the sweeping musical portrait of early 20th century America, returns to The Moonlight’s stage after 19 years. Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, noted playwright Terrence McNally, and based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, RAGTIME is the winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Score, Book and Orchestrations, and both the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical and Best Score. Three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. This acclaimed musical is filled with pageantry, emotion, and hope, bursting onto the stage like no other musical. For cast, crew and creative team details, visit here. Gates open: 6:30 p.m. Curtain: 8 p.m. Related links: Moonlight Stage Productions on Instagram
