• Underground Gallery (AWD)  info 
reception: Karyn Gabriel
Influenced by shapes and pattern found in urban landscapes and nature, my work pares form its essence revealing the structures surrounding us. I find beauty in the elemental, the slightly brutal yet quiet forms often hidden in plain sight. I explore structure through repetition, modularity and texture. I'm driven to create quiet simplicity from the many and discovering the meditative beauty in the textures created. www.karyngabriel.com

• Founders' Gallery (AWD)   info 
reception: Vaidis Valaitis
With a background in sculpture and photography, and coming from a computerrelated career, I was fascinated with digital media and quickly drawn to it. Digital painting started reaching its potential with the advancement of digital art programs and the introduction of the graphics tablet and pen. These became my canvas and brush and gave me the ability to paint and draw. Which I have been doing for the last fifteen years.

• 1325 Donors'Gallery info 
reception: Norma Dimaulo 
My current body of subtle seascapes and landscapes demonstrates the ‘less is more’ viewpoint that defines who I am as an artist. The oil paintings offer an interpretation of nature that is pared down, fluid and serene. As a studio artist, I’m happy to live in Marin where inspiration envelops me. www.normadimaulo.com

• Artist Wall info 
reception: Anne Shaheen
I’m a ReUse artist who’s always been drawn to items that are old, worn, rusted or broken, just waiting to be part of a story that will be interpreted only by the curious observer. I like to mix things up & allow the materials to lead the way. For me, it’s all about celebrating the natural patina that comes with age, and the beauty in imperfection.

A selection of photographs – printed on paper, on metal and projected digitally - that feature street art in its environment. Rich in beauty, message and meaning – real or imagined, and expressed by juxtaposition or (re)interpretation. The scenes in the photographs are not staged or digitally manipulated; it is all street photography. For this show I hope to inspire beyond first impressions. For this purpose, the photographs will be accompanied by artist descriptions, by poems written by Domitille Guilloton and music composed specifically for the photo/poem pairs by Arnaud Hery & Grégoire Leman. We invite you to be part of our creative process and will have headphones available for an immersive experience.
