Access Gallery

Angel creates entire worlds through drawing and storytelling, complete with dragons and a language of his own that continues to evolve over time.

Recently, a collector purchased one of Angel’s pieces and shared that what captivated them most was the opportunity to engage with the work in a personal way. Angel’s original language didn’t come with a translation. Instead, it opened the door for the collector to bring their own interpretation to the artwork, creating a connection that was uniquely theirs.

Because of you, artists like Angel have the space to create freely, share their ideas, and build connection through art. Your support helps provide materials, studio space, mentorship, and a creative community where artists are seen, heard, and celebrated.

Thank you for helping make those opportunities possible.

GOOD SPORTS
June 5 – July 18 at Access Gallery

This exhibition celebrates movement, play, teamwork, and the many ways artists connect to sports through their own stories and imagination.

Also on view: Kinetics on the Community Art Wall, an experimental class project led by Studio Facilitator Dez. The class focused on asking what could be possible, rather than working toward a set outcome, with artists exploring motion, rhythm, gesture, and movement as part of making art.
