CURRENT EXHIBITION
ART IN PROCESS 2025
with Reina Katzenberger
January 2 – January 31, 2025
Closing Reception 5 – 7 PM Friday, January 31
Artist Talk begins at 5:30 PM
For the month of January, Reina Katzenberger returns with ‘art in process’, the fourth iteration focusing on the creative as a collective force for a better future. Katzenberger will be taking over the street-side gallery space at The Art Base, beginning January 2 to the 31st.
This year’s theme, If Only This Moment, explores creativity as a collective force for a better future, posing questions: If we only have this moment, how do we choose to spend our time and energy? How does context influence perceived value? How do we celebrate the power of collective wellbeing and mutuality? The gallery space is equipped for individual and collaborative art-making and creative exploration. This installation depends entirely on public participation, showcasing only work generated through collaboration and conversations within the gallery. Visitors can engage in artmaking or simply observe, becoming part of a living, evolving creative environment.
“My job is to hold space for connection with open and honest conversation and to host a safe, welcoming and vital creative space for any and everyone to enter and creatively express themselves. This work and installation is in honor of my history with the community art center (I am a product of its past) and the promise of its future.” – Reina Katzenberger
