Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water/ Imaginations: Opening Reception Saturday, March 1 from 5 - 8 pm

 TAG Artists proudly presents Earth, Wind, Fire and Water – a contemplation of nature’s elements, explored in all mediums.

 The California Art League’s exhibition Imaginations is curated by Shana Nys Dambrot – Los Angeles based curator, art critic, and author, and features all media interpreting Imaginations as a “collective of ideas, mood, inclination.” Cash prizes will be awarded and presented to designated artists. Shana Nys Dambrot is co-founder of 13ThingsLA, and a contributor to the Village Voice, Flaunt, Artillery, WhiteHot, and Alta Journal. She is the recipient of the Rabkin Prize for Art Criticism, the Mozaik Art Writers Prize, and the LA Press Club National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Critic of the Year award.

 “Imaginations are a collective of ideas, mood, inclination. Interpretation is at the core of imagination. It's a light where there was none, a universe within a microcosm, or a portrait of someone/somewhere that exists or not. Through the language of value, texture, color, contrast, composition, representational content and/or abstraction, our artists showed us what they imagined.” - California Art League President, Nora Koerber.

TAG Gallery is holding an art auction to raise funds for Red Cross support for victims of the L.A. Fires and TAG. This auction will end during a special TAG gallery reception on the main floor of the North Gallery.
