Join us on the patio and in the galleries for crafts, including creating hand puppets from found objects, drawing masks, making a lenticular drawing, self-guided scavenger hunts, and more.

Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 6:30–8:30 PM

Continuum presents an intimate view into the lifework of Faiya Fredman (1925–2020), whose 70-year art career produced an ambitious and eclectic body of work driven by experimentation with unusual formats and unconventional materials. Her large and varied works include paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, installations, and artist’s books. A graduate of UCLA, Fredman juggled marriage and raising a family with the rigors of developing cutting-edge art. Her final body of work combines goddess imagery, vintage puppets, narrative forays into surreal worlds, and hybrid works combining graffiti with botanical imagery.
