Time: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Cost: Free
Organizer’s Site: https://angelsgateart.org/gallery/artists-at-work/

Join us for the opening reception of the culminating exhibition recognizing the community engagement work of Taylor Griffith and Nancy Lynée Woo, fellows of the Artists At Work (AAW) program in LA County. During their 2022 residency, Griffith and Woo partnered with AGCC, in conjunction with AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles and SBCC (Strength Based Community Change) respectively, to provide free public programming in the Southbay Harbor region.

Taylor Griffith’s practice combines his ocean-dive research with methods of photography and sculptural installation, to examine the state of oceanic ecosystems. Nancy Lynée Woo is a poet based in the greater Los Angeles area. As an AAW Artist Fellow, Woo developed writing and poetry centered programs that raised awareness for food sustainability and helped participants develop their creative voice. The exhibition will highlight participants’ poems from Woo’s various engagement opportunities.

The exhibition runs through December 10th, 2022. For more information visit http://ow.ly/i5ls50L9B6y

AAW is a workforce resilience program designed to support the rebuilding of healthy communities through artistic civic engagement, done in partnership with THE OFFICE performing arts + film and the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, with generous support from the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

Gee’s Bend: Shared Legacy

Through this innovative process, a quilt is translated to a printed surface—a new medium to explore and share the quiltmakers’ creativity. “Gee’s Bend: Shared Legacy” is presented in two six-month installments, each featuring a selection of 12 prints.
