What’s new in the Del Mue

It is such a pleasure to open this issue of Stone Soup and find this article surrounded by photographs of artists alongside their artwork from this year’s Spring Art Show, beautifully captured by photographer Donn DeAngelo. The images radiate the creativity, warmth, and spirit that filled the Community Center galleries this spring and serve as a reminder of just how deeply art connects our community. Looking ahead, we are excited to share an inspiring lineup of summer exhibits in the Maurice Del Mue Galleries. June will feature the vibrant and expressive work of longtime artist Jan Gross alongside first-time exhibiting artist Eva Thomas . Pairing an established creative voice with a fresh perspective is one of the great joys of curating our gallery spaces, and we are thrilled to welcome Eva’s work into the galleries for the first time. In July, we turn our focus to photography with Roots of the Valleys Photography Exhibition , a group exhibition celebrating the beauty, character, and layered sto- ries of the San Geronimo and Nicasio Valleys. The exhibit will feature photogra- phers interpreting the landscape, people, textures, traditions, and quiet moments that make this region so special. From intimate portraits to unexpected details and sweeping scenes, Roots of the Valleys explores the many ways photography can capture a sense of place and belonging. August brings the powerful traveling exhibit What About Age to the West Room galleries, an exhibition exploring aging, memory, and community that is featured in detail elsewhere in this issue. Alongside it, we are delighted to welcome back the work of Kalea Rasmussen and Margot Granville , two artists whose vibrant and expressive work reflects the creativity, and fresh perspectives that make sup- porting emerging artists so meaningful. As always, thank you to all of the artists, volunteers, visitors, and supporters who help make the Del Mue Galleries such a vibrant gathering place for creativity in the Valley. We look forward to seeing you in the galleries this summer. As a final note, we are also honored to announce the opening of a permanent legacy collection of work by beloved Valley artist Connie Smith Siegel in the Community Center’s former library space. The collection creates a lasting home for Connie’s artwork, celebrating her creative legacy and deep connection to the San Geronimo Valley community.
