Space Maker
Space Maker examines where art and architecture meet, tracing how creative practices rooted in design influence the shaping of spaces, objects, and communities. Featuring a blend of historic pieces with contemporary works by local artists - including Russell Forester, Robert Irwin, Miki Iwasaki, Irma Sofía Poeter, and others - the exhibition highlights wide-ranging interpretations of form, geometry, and place. Through these varied perspectives, the exhibition uncovers the reciprocal relationship between artistic expression and architectural thinking - revealing how each discipline informs, echoes, and transforms the other.

Stories in Cloth: Communicating Through Textiles
Stories in Cloth: Communicating Through Textiles is an upcoming exhibition presented by the La Jolla Historical Society in partnership with the Visions Museum of Textile Art. The show explores how textiles from around the world and throughout history have been used to communicate stories, identity, and shared experience. Focusing on three key themes—storytelling, activism and resistance, and cultural expression—the exhibition highlights historic and contemporary works, collaborations with local artists, and loans from institutions and artists. Stories in Cloth celebrates textiles as powerful tools for connection, creativity, and cultural expression.
