The frontier myth has proven to be one of the most powerful and enduring stories in American history, erasing or altering the history of people of color and women in the West.

Tom Prochaska distinguished himself in many mediums: He was a masterful printmaker, an intuitive painter, a builder of papier-mâché figures, a creator of fused glass panels, and graphite-on-paper drawings.

"My paintings can be described as sculptural in nature, emphasising physical presence, weight and materiality."

In 2025, Dmae Lo Roberts embarked on a statewide storytelling experience focusing on personal stories from both artists and community members. These stories are a form of living oral history.

Oshatz worked on a monumental scale to represent underwater scenes, creating a full stage silk backdrop. He also designed hand painted silk waves that dancers moved across the stage.

These women artists were in museum collections, but they were barely shown. The challenge was to do enough research to find common themes and bring them together.

While Howard's case is full of nuance, Ogilvie initially only sees him as an overweight patient who might be better served by the medical facilities at the zoo. It's a breathtakingly callous statement, especially when made within earshot of the patient, yet to many larger-bodied people, it's a very real concern.

Upon entry, Kent's "IF" (1965) lures the eye upward. The serigraph-a silkscreen print in fine art parlance-hangs high on the wall with a subtle vulnerability. Two orange letters hover toward the composition's top edge, as if pushing to transcend the picture plane. A feeling of possibility emerges through the conjunction and its visual form.

When a Las Vegas jury on Jan. 30 found Nathan Chasing Horse guilty of 13 felony counts, most of them related to child sexual abuse, it sent reverberations through tribal communities across North America. One of the most powerful tremors passed through Sonoma County. I don't have the words to describe what it feels like to have this conviction come through, and to know this process started on a bench in (Santa Rosa's) Howarth Park, said Kathryn Lombera, who lives in Windsor.

There is a scene in "Morgenkreis | Morning Circle" (2025), a 16-mm film by Berlin-based Palestinian artist Basma al-Sharif, that unfolds at the threshold of a daycare center. A young boy clings to his father, his fists locked into the fabric of his coat, his arms wrapped tightly around him. The father gently tries to pry himself free while a daycare worker crouches nearby, attempting to distract the child and coax him inside. It is an ordinary moment, one that anyone who has ever been a child - or cared for one - recognizes instantly, as well as the gut-wrenching feeling it provokes.

People have been hearing about this or seeing it for months now. Now, finally this summer, we'll be able to share it. We absolutely believe we're honoring Rick and his legacy as an art educator. The whole area has been transformed because of the Bartow studio. It's amazing. The anticipation level is through the roof.

I grew up in New York. We were very, very poor. We were living in the basement of an apartment building in the South Bronx, and, because my stepfather was the superintendent, I would get up every morning and straighten up all the garbage. And then I would sweep the halls down, and I'd mop the halls down. We had no money to travel.

The privilege of belonging and being seen as a part of a place, without needing explanations, is not available to my characters, who are finding ways to navigate and battle that out-of-place-ness. If the environment is meant to assuage, then the character's bodysuit is chaotic distress. Similarly, if the bodysuit is meant to pacify the narrative of the character's purpose, then the environment is lurking with dangers and chaotic, unsafe possibilities nearby.

Wilson's work reexamines how Native peoples have been photographed and represented over time. Using modern photographic techniques and digital media, he responds to Curtis's influential project The North American Indian (1907-1930), inviting viewers to reflect on questions of identity, visibility, and who has the power to shape the images we see.

Artist Ayelet Gal-On does not just paint; she builds, layering oil, acrylic and plaster on canvas. Gal-On's signature subjects for "Taken by the Wind, Swept by the Light," her upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery 9 in Los Altos, are white dresses that appear to hang on a line, defying the stillness of the canvas. "I love the process of playing with color," says the artist.

the artist's newest body of work responds to an urgent question precipitated by the catastrophic events of the past year: What does one do when the world collapses? The works attempt to make sense of her experience of the fire and its enduring aftermath, while continuing her exploration of the poetics of loss, displacement, and migration. Kahraman views these works as an offering, a libation, to a burning world.

"I think Carr is a remarkable Modernist landscape painter who has been largely overlooked in the wider history of Modernism," Hill says. "Her intense commitment to art, despite sexist assumptions about her potential as a woman artist and her geographic isolation from the mainstream art world, are a story I think many people would find fascinating if given a chance to hear it and see the work."
