2nd Friday ArtAbout!

Art by Cathi Newlin & Toni Rizzo 

Mar. 3 - Apr. 30, 2023

This new joint exhibit unites the fantastic work of painter Toni Rizzo and sculptor Cathi Newlin. Toni’s signature painting style combines serene and psychedelic backgrounds with high realism subjects. Cathi sculpts expressive, imaginative ceramic creatures with vibrant colors. Both artists have a light-hearted, playful take on artmaking that leads them to explore imagery full of fantasy, surrealism, or comedic exaggeration.

Figurative Exposé

Feb. 10 - Apr. 2, 2023

The California Art Club (CAC) was first established in 1909 in Los Angeles to celebrate the heritage and practices of traditional fine art worldwide. Each year, the Club holds a juried exhibition promoting artists who follow in the tradition of realism and craftsmanship established by the Club’s founders. This year, the Pence will display the Club’s juried exhibit of figurative drawings, paintings, and sculpture by select CAC artists, as juried by master painter Dan Schultz.
