Voice of Nature
November 22, 2019 -
January 3, 2020
Voice of Nature featured work by artists who live in the ACE/121 artist community. The gallery’s inaugural exhibition, Civitas, opened in May of 2017, introducing the vibrant inter-generational community of ACE/121 to the city of Glendale as a permanent fixture in its contemporary cultural fabric and artistic output.
​
With Voice of Nature, the ACE/121 community proposed a themed group show with a vast scope, presenting artworks of diverse medium ranging from painting to poetry, music to collage and ceramics.
​
Responding to the prompt “What does nature have to say? What is your voice of nature?”, residents of ACE/121 created an exhibition that represented a chorus of voices under a single roof. The artists found nature in their everyday: not only in the natural world, but also in the nature of humanity, the figure, materials, small moments as well as those large forces which bind us all together.
