SUMMARY:A Year Without You – Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:As a collaboration\, The RAD Foundation & artist Julie Dahl-Nicolle are showcasing\, for thirty days\, “A Year Without You”. This collection of one hundred floral mixed media canvas paintings dives into the realization of what we have all experienced over the last two years due to COVID-19: a sense of loss. Whether that be the loss of loved ones or a loss of what could have been – everyone has been impacted by this year’s events. This exhibition of paintings by artist Julie Dahl-Nicolle\, displayed in the MVC Pavilion\, will bring acceptance and understanding to loss all while giving us hope & joy for the future ahead.  \nDuring opening night\, there will be a live participation portion of the evening where guests can participate in hanging their clouties – an homage to the Irish Rag Tree tradition. Clouties are sometimes left as gestures of acknowledgement and respect for the spirits of the land\, and sometimes as prayers requesting general blessings or specific aid from those same spirits. The Crann Bethadh also known as The Celtic Tree was a connection to the world of the spirits and the ancestors\, living entities\, and doorways into other worlds. In a time with so much division and loneliness\, let us move forward & enter this new season of blessing. \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Going Wild Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:For novelist Melina Sempill Watts and artist Jeff Sojka\, falling in love with a landscape means interconnecting the lives of the plants and animals that make it alive.  Watts’ first novel Tree is an exploration of 229 years in the life of a California live oak from the point of view of … the tree.  Sojka dove into the book and painted his vision of the tree’s reality\, each painting honoring the aliveness and richness of California’s landscapes. This multimedia experiment\, with the exhibit being available both on-site and virtually\, will offer the audience the opportunity to expand their imagination\, stepping into the life of a tree from multiple vantage points. Consider the world from the plants’ perspective: begin going wild. \nFrom childhood in Topanga\, California\, Melina Sempill Watts interconnected with the outdoors.  After UCLA\, (B.A.\, history\,) Watts worked in Hollywood for Peter Horton\, Ed Zwick\, Kathleen Kennedy and Dreamworks before moving into conservation.  Published in Sierra Magazine\, Earth Island Journal and the New York Times\, Tree is her first novel. \nJeff Sojka grew up in the Bay Area\, sailing\, hiking and painting.  Earning an art scholarship after high school\, Sojka toured the great museums of Europe\, studying and painting.  After UCSB\, then SDSU\, he joined an ad agency\, leaving to paint iconic California landscapes that glow with an internal luminosity. \nThe show starts on Friday\, August 26\, 2022 and runs through October 2\, 2022.\nThe exhibit is held in tandem with an event series. \nMade possible in part by Arts Ventura
