Go West Visual Arts Exhibition Opening

TICKETS | Refreshments available for purchase

Join us as we celebrate the opening of Go West, a powerful group exhibition featuring the work of 13 Asian American artists whose stories and creative practices explore the intersection of heritage, identity, and the enduring spirit of the American West.

Be among the first to experience the art, meet the artists, and explore the rich narratives behind the work. From metalsmithing and 3D printing to photography and printmaking, the exhibition spans a wide range of mediums—each piece a unique reflection on diaspora, belonging, and cultural convergence. Inspired by the historic call to “Go West,” this exhibition reclaims and reimagines what it means to journey, to arrive, and to belong.

Artists:
Agnes Ma, Bala Thiagarajan, Christine Nguyen, Erin Hyunhee Kang, Jenie Gao, Joon Tajadod, Laila Vaziralli, Margaret Kasahara, Maki Teshima, Mattie Hanson, Sammy Seung-min Lee, Taiko Chandler

Guest Jurors: Gallerist Rajiv Menon & art advisor Roseline Michael Neveling
