AGCC hosts one of the largest studio artist programs in the region with a diverse range of artistic disciplines including ceramics, photography, printmaking, writing, sculpture, videography, music, and painting. This self-guided tour of artist studios provides a unique opportunity to interact with the artists and purchase contemporary works of art. More information about the artists who create at AGCC can be found at angelsgateart.org.

METHOD will be on view in the AGCC galleries with artist activations throughout the day. METHOD is a group exhibition guest juried by SUPERCOLLIDER SciArt Ambassador and interdisciplinary artist, Kira Xonorika. METHOD explores art in which experimentation, technology, or other scientific fields, are central to the work and artist’s practice. These explorations connect seemingly divergent ecosystems, expanding their meaning. METHOD will be on view in the gallery through December 6th.

Artist-Teacher Julie Greenberg will be teaching a drop-in All-Ages Chromatography Workshop in Building G. Participants will experiment with the properties of markers when they connect with water. All attendants will leave with a sun-catcher inspired by our current exhibition, METHOD.
