What’s New in the Del Mue
I’m feeling deeply inspired by the art filling our gal- leries this fall. In partnership with the International Day of Peace Festival, we’re honored to present printmaking by inmates and alumni of San Quentin State Prison, created through the William James Association’s Prison Arts Project. For the past three years, this powerful collection has been a highlight
of our Peace Festivals thanks to the dedication of artist and teacher Katya McCullough, who leads printmaking classes inside the prison. Alongside this work, we’re also featuring art from the Teamworks Art Mentoring Program, where Katya serves as director, creating art alongside high-risk and incarcerated youth. The art from both of these groups is powerful, speaking clearly to art’s ability to serve as a vehicle for inner peace.
October brings the stunning Big Easy–inspired photography from Michelle Elmore in the West Room, alongside the timeless work of our beloved Connie Smith Siegel in the Valley Room. Michelle L. Elmore is a gifted and percep- tive photographer whose work captures the vibrant cultural heartbeat of New Orleans through large-scale, theatrical imagery. street musicians and youth. Connie Smith Siegel (1937 – 2020) besides being a treasured part of our com- munity, was a landscape painter, educator, and leader in the fields of art and healing. She painted outdoors across Marin and Sonoma, the Sierras, and beyond with clarity and care. Her work in the Valley Room will feature never before shown pieces from her fall travels to the Sierras. The Center is very honored to have the art of Richard Lang on display in November. Richard Lang creates thought-provoking assemblages and photo- graphs using plastic debris collected from beaches, transforming environmental waste into striking works of art. His pieces merge visual beauty with a call to action on ocean conservation. Richard is also a poet and storyteller and will be sharing his work November 17th at 1 pm. In December, the Community Center Art Committee will host its first-ever “Small Works Big Impact Art Auction” to raise funds for an emerging art- ist fund. Deep thanks to the Art Committee for their generous support and expertise—stay tuned for more details.
