re-adaptations: re-envisioning art and connection
by Angels Gate Cultural Center Studio Artists
re-adaptations explores the necessary reinventions of our daily lives resulting from a shared pandemic experience. The artists explore the ways in which monumental events have created a seismic shift in how we connect – with each other, our daily routines, and inner-self. We have had to relearn and re-examine what’s necessary, and most importantly, reconnect with those relationships whose significance has only become more apparent.
Artists include Phoebe Barnum, Delora Bertsch, Lynn Doran, Beth Elliott, Henry Krusoe, Vanessa Madrid, Tim Maxeiner, W.S. Milner, Lowell Nickel, Michelle Seo, Nancy Voegeli-Curran, and Ann Weber.

Artists-in-Classrooms Fall 2020-Spring 2021
Now more than ever, participation in the Arts and Arts Education is vital to the health of our communities. In 2020, AGCC’s Education staff fully transitioned the AIC program to a virtual model, with twelve sessions of live arts instruction via Zoom and 4 pre-recorded video lessons. This model of synchronous and asynchronous learning was designed in an effort to ensure access for all students, in light of attendance challenges schools faced this year. We also hand-delivered COVID-safe supply packages to each school we served, to ensure every student had the art materials they needed to participate in the program. We were grateful to bring the Arts to local students, even in the midst of a global pandemic. Please enjoy this video highlighting our Education work this year!

Is it a book, a visual poem, a collage!?

We will work on a chosen theme and create collages from found items, paper objects, drawings, leaves, and poems. Prompts will be given, along with a timed guide to approach each page! You’ll emerge with a book. No wait, it’s a sculpture. Oh, I mean an object d’art. Oh what is this glorious handmade work!?
