This show iscentered around species and landscapes “on the edge” of survival. It would highlight plant and animal species that are endangered, or threatened, or even extinct. ALSO areas of land set aside for conservation & preservation of these species. We would be presenting this show with the purpose of bringing attention to the beauty and fragility of some of California’s disappearing species, as well as promoting better protection and stewardship of our ecosystems. We can choose any natural spaces that we feel have been dedicated to the protection and preservation of nature.

In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His 42-year marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia Delectorskaya. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation.
2024 biography that re-examines the complex life of the post-Impressionist painter, challenging common myths with new research, including DNA evidence from his teeth and a newly discovered manuscript. The book portrays Gauguin as a complicated figure, exploring his artistic vision, his struggles as a stockbroker and salesman, his time in Tahiti, and his advocacy for the indigenous people, while contextualizing his controversial personal life within his era. It’s praised for being a myth-busting, readable, and compassionate study that offers a fresh perspective on his art and legacy.
