Current Exhibition

On view through August 24, "Yuyi Morales: Soñadora" showcases original artwork by author and illustrator Yuyi Morales, organized by the National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature. In 1994, Yuyi Morales left her home in Mexico and came to the US with her infant son and husband. She left behind nearly everything she owned, but she didn’t come empty-handed. She brought her strength, her work, her passion, her hopes and dreams… and her stories. Morales, who lived for many years in the Bay Area, now resides in her hometown of Xalapa, Mexico.

On view through August 24, The Front Gallery features "Imaginary Tapestries" by Miami-based artist Aurora Molina, This exhibition is a complex story of family, memory, and artistic expression. It delves into the profound impact of art across generations, intertwining the past, present, and future.
