We hope you have a beautiful and fruitful 2019! 

 A big thank you to all friends, collaborators, supporters, and collectors. And a special thank you to all our partners. We wouldn’t be able to do this without you. Help us continue grow this important work and transform community.

EMPIRE- EXHIBITION PARTY

Join us! December 8 at Newcomb Art Museum!

 

EMPIRE critically examines the principles of archives and anthropology to interrogate the ways histories are told, remembered, and revised. The immersive artwork considers the historical and contemporary effects that colonialism, slavery, trade, and tourism have had on the movement of culture across and beyond borders to better understand the geographic and cultural position of New Orleans in relationship to Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. EMPIRE invites viewers to creatively interpret the displayed objects, their connections, and their juxtapositions to generate new meanings.

EMPIRE at Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University is part of “Fallen Fruit of New Orleans” a suite of site-specific projects taking place throughout New Orleans from June 2017 through June 2018, commissioned and presented by Newcomb Art Museum, A Studio in the Woods, and Pelican Bomb. “Fallen Fruit of New Orleans” was initiated by Pelican Bomb in 2015.

¡Todos están invitados a participar! La exhibición “Todo Incluido” celebra a quienes conocen mejor la ciudad: los creadores de arte que viven en ella.
 
Respondiendo al interés de la comunidad, OPC se complace en presentar una nueva exposición anual que se centra únicamente en el nuevo trabajo de artistas locales. Queremos incluir a todos aquellos que participan en una práctica creativa en Vallarta. Cada año, OPC invitará a un curador o artista diferente para que se desempeñe como coordinador del proyecto, y nos sentimos honrados de que David Allen Burns y Austin Young, del colectivo Fallen Fruit, serán los curadores de este año.
 
“Nos interesa la idea del público, la ciudadanía, la comunidad y cómo las personas comunes son poetas, escritores, artistas y documentalistas, tanto como extraños, vecinos y amigos”, dicen los artistas de Fallen Fruit.
 
La exhibición se enfocará en arte relacionado con Puerto Vallarta: su historia, problemas y soluciones a problemas urbanos; sin embargo, cada pieza será recibida y exhibida, sin importar el tema y el discurso, siempre y cuando cumpla con las siguientes especificaciones:
 
a) El tema y la técnica de cada obra es completamente abierta.
b) Ser una obra de arte bidimensional.
c) El formato debe ser de tabloide horizontal (30,5 cm de alto x 45,7 cm de ancho)
d) Se deben incluir los detalles técnicos: Nombre del artista, título, fecha y medio
 
Participe entregando su trabajo a OPC antes del 15 de septiembre de 11:00 a 14:00 h.
OPC está ubicado en Juárez 598 en la esquina de Aldama en la colonia Centro.

Everyone is invited to participate! The “All Inclusive” show celebrates those who know the city best—the art makers who live there.
 
Responding to community interest, OPC is excited to launch a new annual exhibition that solely focuses on new work by local artists. We want everyone that participates in a creative practice in Vallarta to be included in the exhibition. Each year OPC will invite a different curator or artist to serve as the project coordinator and we are honored that David Allen Burns and Austin Young of Fallen Fruit will serve as this year’s curators.
 
“We are interested in the idea of the public, citizenship, community, and how everyday people are poets and scribes and artists and documentarians as much as they are strangers, neighbors, and friends,” say the artists of Fallen Fruit.
 
The exhibition will focus on art related to Puerto Vallarta: it’s history, urban issues problems and solutions; nevertheless, every piece will be received and exhibited, no matter the theme and discourse, as long as it fits the following characteristics:
 
a) The theme and technique of every work is entirely open.
b) Be a two-dimensional artwork.
c) Format should be horizontal tabloid size (30.5 cm high x 45.7 cm width)
d) Technical details must be included: Artist name, title, date, and medium
 
Participate by delivering your work to OPC by September 15th from 11am to 2pm.
OPC is located at Juarez 598 at the corner of Aldama in Centro.

Stoneview receives Public Art Network Award!

Stoneview Nature Center: Civic Art Project Recognized at American for the Arts one of the 49 outstanding public art projects 2017!  -Civic Art by Fallen Fruit, David Burns and Austin Young.

 

On Friday, June 15, Americans for the Arts honored 49 outstanding public arts projects created in 2017, including the civic artwork at the Stoneview Nature Center. The projects were chosen through the Public Art Network Year in Review program, the only national program that specifically recognizes the most compelling public art. Selected by public art experts, the roster of projects was unveiled at Americans for the Arts’ (AFTA) Annual Convention in Denver.

Information can be found HERE at Los Angele County Arts Commision.

Details can be found HERE at Americans For The Arts.

Initiated as a Design-Build competition by the County of LA, the Stoneview Nature Center project invited pre-qualified teams to transform a five-acre brownfield site into a highly sustainable nature center in the Blair Hills neighborhood of Culver City, CA. As an important node along the five mile “Park to Playa Trail”, the 4,000 square foot facility and surrounding gardens were envisioned as a place for community to come together and engage both socially and architecturally.

Congratulations to the entire team!

“The 5-acre Stoneview Nature Center two miles west of Stocker — and itself a stop on the Park-To-Playa Trail — sees Fallen Fruit’s integral design elements in a more conceptual but still absolutely edible landscape integrated into the new construction’s progressive municipal design/build award. Co-proposed with Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects, AHBE Landscape Design, and graphics by Omnivore, the site is a sustainable, multi-use vision for a community center featuring outdoor kitchen and gathering areas, art installations based on the neighborhood’s history, and at its heart, Fallen Fruit’s organic rainbow of living colors, rich symbolism, and narrative in the form of free harvests of pomegranates, lemons, oranges, avocados, grapes, berries and figs. “ – Shana Nys Dambrot, Huffington Post.

“THIS PROJECT IS A WIN FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS ALL AROUND. IT WILL EXPOSE YOUTH TO NATURE, CREATE JOBS, AND SERVE AS A PROTECTIVE HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE. ” – Mark Ridley-Thomas, LA County Board of Supervisors
