With support from the California Arts Council, ART PRODUCE will facilitate a residency with artist Bhavna Mehta who will engage community members and local artists in creating an interactive sculptural installation and performance in the storefront gallery. Through story-telling and art-making workshops participants will contribute to the creation of a dream-like space made of paper and recycled materials in the storefront gallery titled, “The Body is a Home”.
Art Produce serves neighborhood families, schools and the artist community providing space that includes an art gallery, public garden, classrooms, and food/beverages. Public programs activate the neighborhood and allow artists to experiment in community engaged exhibits and performance in a real community where people live and work. Our programs include our Artist in Residence program, free weekly inter-generational art workshops, internships, and learning lab (a laboratory in building community and developing creative social space).
