Join us for an afternoon of connection and fashion while supporting VMOTA! Listen in on a panel discussion moderated by Ashley Nell Tipton, season 14 winner of Project Runway! Get some behind-the-scenes insights on what it takes to create wearable art from three of Mesa College Golden Scissors award winners. In addition to the panel discussion, the event will include opportunities for you to shop, a fun photobooth to take commemorative pictures in, and tea and small bites for your enjoyment. Each guest will also be given a goodie bag to take home at the end of the event! We thank our partners San Diego Mesa College's Fashion Program, San Diego College of Continuing Education's Clothing and Textile Program, and Goodwill San Diego.
We asked our newest team member, Renata, which is their favorite piece in Blalock's "Shades of Home" exhibit, and they chose "All That Remains." They shared, "I really enjoy how smooth the gradient is and the intricacy of the pattern; the rhythm is hypnotizing." “Shades of Home” by @ashleyvblalock is on display in the Spotlight Gallery @visionsmuseum in @artsdistrictlibertystation until October 10th. In this exhibition, Blalock explores smaller-scale investigations of material and memory. The works explore how familiar forms can move beyond their original contexts and how traditional techniques can be reimagined. As materials are altered, they reveal traces of personal histories while taking on new meanings. Financial support is provided by the City of San Diego. VMOTA is also supported in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency.
We are happy to welcome and introduce Renata Orozco, VMOTA's new Marketing Specialist! Renata is a San Diego local who graduated SDSU with a double major in Graphic Design and Art History with a minor in Spanish. They have always enjoyed the atmosphere that museums create and working within these academic spaces. Outside of work, they enjoy reading, drawing, and nature. Mostly, though, they just say yes to whatever their friends invite them out to do!
"Soft Architectures of the Sea” by Marita Setas Ferro brings marine life to the forefront. In creating intricate, colorful soft sculptures open to touch, she hopes to create a deeper connection between people and the marine ecosystem. As visitors gingerly explore the various knots and textures of these sculptures, Ferro asks the audience to consider what it might look like if we care for our environment with this same delicacy and appreciation of diversity. Soft Architectures of the Sea by Marita Setas Ferro @visionsmuseum in @artsdistrtictlibertystation is on display from now until October 10th. This exhibition presents interactive textile sculptures as material reflections on marine ecosystems, care, and environmental precarity. Visitors are invited to touch these sculptures that invite proximity and embodied response, allowing tactility, softness, and vulnerability to operate as forms of knowledge. We encourage you to touch, reflect upon, and appreciate these meticulous artworks by @maritaferro. On display in the Dr. Sandra Ann Edwin Gallery at Visions Museum of Textile Art. Financial support is provided by the City of San Diego. VMOTA is also supported in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency.
