Four wonderful pieces from the Printed & Stitched show at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. ▶️ Swipe to see each whole piece and a close up.

I've tagged the full pieces so you can see more from each artist. It's a wonderful show -- if you're local, head over!

Believe it or not, I didn't notice the similarities of the ones I chose until I put the 4 together!

Today is a big day! I’m at Ruby’s soccer game then a track meet and then KALA 50 - Kala’s BIG auction closing and 50th anniversary PARTY!

I love working at Kala, love the auction, and am all about celebrating this milestone 50th year + raising funds for all the great work we are doing now supporting artists and connecting artists and the community and the work we’ll do in the future!

Tickets are just about sold out, but you can bid today from the comfort of your own home to support @kalaartinstitute ~ this year you can even bid on the live auction items from home.

It's the official one-week countdown until Kala's art auction benefit comes to a close.

This is Kala's biggest fundraiser of the year and we have a big week ahead of us. We would LOVE an outpouring of community participation and bidding.

Bidding closes Sunday, May 22nd at 5pm (PST).

Get in on the action and bid on your favorite works of art, museum memberships, gift certificates for art supplies and local restaurants, wine and more.

The auction includes FUND-A-NEED where you can make a tax-deductible donation to support a specific Kala program or need. Each bid and all donations add up to make a big difference. Link in bio to help!

Just like Kala offers multiple points of access for artists of all generations, Art Kala 2022 offers multiple ways to support Kala.

Money raised supports Kala’s artist residencies, Artists-in-Schools and youth art programs, exhibitions, and facility improvements.

Thanks to the generous spirit of so many artists, businesses, and friends of Kala who make this event possible.

To explore the auction exhibition, visit the Kala gallery Wed-Sun, 12-5pm through May 22nd (special hours for the last week of the auction) and/or join us online at artkala2022.givesmart.com for browsing and bidding.

Thanks for support the auction and for the love, help, support, encouragement, and belief in Kala!

Our Benefit Art Auction Exhibition, “Art in the Time of Corona,” closes this Sunday at 8pm PDT. Remember it’s daylight savings too.

Artist: Ewa Gavrielov @ewagav

About the Artist
“Making art in Corona era is struggle between keeping the inspiration needed to be creative, and looking inward for endurance, and survival. I am holding on to old methods such as printmaking and works on paper while becoming more focused and mostly thankful for being an artist and being able to escape into my art-making. My inspiration comes from my interest in giving new meaning to everyday, used or broken materials, and making the common and discarded, uncommon, whole and precious again in a different context. My approach to making art is as a gradual process, elements arising organically out of their interactions with each other, sometimes leaving traces of their previous existence even when they are covered by later additions. I experiment with different materials, substances, and techniques, trying to push the limits, in order to open to the viewer to explore and become emotionally engaged with the art.”
