Artist Guillermo Bert in Conversation with Alma Ruiz at First Thursday

Guillermo Bert makes artworks that explore the endurance of immigrants who have left their home countries behind. Rooted in his personal story, his primary focus has been the experiences of people and families who enter the United States along the U.S. – Mexico border. The exhibition Guillermo Bert: The Journey presents a mid-career survey and includes artworks in a variety of traditional and contemporary media that are drawn from the entirety of Bert’s career, as well as new works produced exclusively for this exhibition.

Guillermo Bert joins us in conversation with independent curator, Alma Ruiz. Following the talk, guests are invited to visit the galleries and join the Museum’s monthly Members’ event, First Thursday. Enjoy live music, drinks and panoramic views in the Nightingale Sky Room as we celebrate the opening of Guillermo Bert: The Journey.

Exhibition Walkthrough – Adaline Kent: The Click of Authenticity

Born of a legendary family of early environmentalists in the Bay Area, Adaline Kent (1900 – 1957) was an energetic innovator and a self-proclaimed “addict of the High Sierra.” Her love of this landscape can be traced in her abstract artworks that merge her interest in the natural world with a steadfast pursuit of authenticity.

Join Curatorial Assistant, Kolin Perry, for a guided tour of the exhibition, bringing together more than 120 works that span Kent’s entire career – many of which have not been seen by the public in over half a century. 

NOTE: This is a guided tour that will take place on the 2nd floor in the Adaline Kent exhibition. Meet on 2nd floor landing.
