Project Description
use funds toward upcoming pioneering, powerful exhibitions and programming of underrepresented artists and issues. SVMA features and explores contemporary art in ways that delight, surprise, and bring people together to celebrate the power of art and community while opening up discussions and considerations of social issues relevant to the moment. SVMA is an interlocutor role in a community comprised of a broad range of permanent and transitory community members—from immigrant farm workers to wealthy second-home owners to visiting tourists. SVMA is gaining recognition on a national level for its groundbreaking exhibitions and programs. The New York Times recently cited SVMA’s upcoming exhibition of Richard Mayhew; the Smithsonian American Art and Portrait Gallery Library requested a copy of SVMA’s 2019 exhibition catalog, Bingo: The Life and Art of Bernice Bing, for its collection.
