Join us for Inner Landscape, a solo exhibition by New York–based artist Sung Won Yun.

Yun’s work traces the cycles of life, weaving together the cellular and the geological, the fleeting and the enduring. Through layers of organic forms, accumulation, and superposition, she reveals an interconnected world where micro and macro collapse into one dynamic whole.

Inner Landscape offers viewers a space of reflection on interconnection, transformation, and the shared rhythm of existence.

High Tide is a community-curated group exhibition that celebrates the creative energy, mutual recognition, and shared culture of artistic expression along California's Central Coast. Each participating artist was asked to nominate another local artist whose work they admire. This ripple effect of appreciation resulted in a diverse, multigenerational, and deeply interconnected lineup - one that reflects the region's rich and collaborative artistic ecosystem.
At the heart of High Tide is the belief in the power of community to shape culture.

Thursday, August 14 from 4:30-7:30pm will be another reception for High Tide as we welcome students back to campus for the first week of classes. We'll have wine provided by our season partner, Hope Family Wines, and delicious snacks. Many of the participating artists will be in attendance, recreating the good vibes and community gathering of our opening reception.

Meet the artist in person, experience his new works. Frank will give a Special Presentation at 3:00 PM, discussing the role of art and the creative process. The event is free and open to all. Registration not required.

Frank Eber's paintings tell stories of times and places that we feel sure we have seen. His unique use of contrast and light evoke emotions, trigger memories. Like distant dreams his works feel familiar yet strangely enigmatic. Frank's own words help explain the viewer's response to his works:

I like the idea of conveying a subjective, emotional response to the natural world. Painting should go deeper than copying nature. I can paint it how it is, that’s easy, but the interpretation of the thing that’s underneath, what gives it life, is what I’d like to find. Atmosphere and light are just the first steps.

Frank is an award-winning artist and Signature member of the American Impressionist society, American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society and an Artist member of the prestigious California Art Club.

Meet artist Frank Eber, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, and preview Frank's new works. The reception is free and open to all, please register in advance. Registration is free.
