Five artists of various media and styles are participating in the Elverhoj Museum’s new group exhibition, Under the Same Sun: From Low-riders to Farmworkers, which is scheduled to open at the Solvang venue on Saturday, April 20, and run through early July.
The show’s featured artists—Jacqueline Valenzuela (whose work is pictured), Priscilla S. Flores, Narsiso Martinez, Oscar Pearson, and Luis Ramirez—are based in Central and Southern California, and their works in the exhibit are described as vignettes that celebrate “the diverse stratum of communal being” that relate to “this contemporary moment in California,” while acknowledging “that we are all a part of this everyday experience,” according to press materials.
The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art will host an opening reception for the exhibit on Saturday, April 20 (4 to 6 p.m.), where the public will have the chance to meet the show’s five featured artists in person. The artists will return to the museum on Saturday, June 29 (4 to 6 p.m.), for an art demonstration and dialogue, where they’ll discuss their tools, techniques, and motivations behind their respective works.
