Creative Co-Op: Holiday Crafts

Opening Saturday, January 25th, 2025, 1968: A Folsom Redemption and Beyond Confinement: The Untold Stories come together to explore the profound impact of art on individuals affected by the incarceration system. 1968, celebrates the 50th anniversary of Johnny Cash’s legendary performances at one of the nation's first maximum-security prisons, offering a collection of photographs and memories from two journalists who were lucky enough to be among a handful of eyewitnesses to the historic concerts. This candid and personal photography exhibition covers a critical juncture in the career of Johnny Cash, one of the twentieth century's most beloved performers.

In dialogue with this historic moment, Beyond Confinement: The Untold Stories showcases the work of individual artists affected by the incarceration system. Featured artists include  Alberto Lule, Fulton Leroy Washington, Khadijah Silva, Nicholas Tirado, and others. Through their diverse mediums, these artists share personal narratives that illuminate the role of creative expression and emphasize the vital role of arts programming for those impacted by the system. 

Together, the two exhibitions highlight the ongoing relevance of art as a vehicle for transformation, both within and beyond the walls of confinement.

Opening September 7, 2024, at the award-winning Fullerton Museum Center, The Art of Everything: The Art and Science of June Wayne showcases the seminal work of acclaimed artist June Wayne (1918-2011). June Wayne is known for her lifelong exploration of the relationship between Art and Science. In doing so she also revolutionized printmaking and the textile medium, while fighting fearlessly for freedom of expression and the rightful inclusion of women and minorities in the art world. This new exhibition, featuring works from the June Wayne Estate and private collections, includes essays by noted author Gabrielle Selz as well as by curator Mikaela Sardo Lamarche. Presented in conjunction with the Getty Institute’s Pacific Standard Time Initiative, the exhibition highlights Wayne's interdisciplinary contributions and the global intersections of art and science. For the first time, June Wayne’s monumental tapestry On Verra, commissioned by KCET and generously loaned by PBS SoCal, will make its public premiere at FMC.
