'Alternate Visions' will be on view from October 1 through November 15, 2026.
The exhibition features John Angell, Joseph Bellacera, Paula Bellacera, Valerie Birkhoff, June Daskalakis and Dwight Head. The six award-winning Northern California artists live and work in the Davis/Sacramento area and work across a variety of disciplines, mediums and subject matter.
The opening reception is scheduled for Friday, October 2, from 6 to 8 PM, with free admission.
Uniting the work is an underlying, often quirky sense of humor, varying doses of surrealism and a commitment to an alternate view of the world around us that is open to the viewer’s interpretation. The work conveys an offbeat, sometimes haunting interpretation of the human condition, primordial dreamscapes, internal landscapes and the essence of light and energy.
The interplay between the pieces presents a visual experience in both the second and third dimensions—and possibly the fourth dimension as well.
