Current Exhibition

Greg Price: Smooth Ripple

​Exhibition: August 14–December 12
Opening Reception: August 14, 2–4 p.m.

Since 2013, Irvine-based artist Greg Price has been pushing the boundaries of sculpture by utilizing extreme temperatures to manipulate glass. Price’s process results in weightless moments of 3D form suspended in time and space, giving viewers the chance to experience a familiar material in an unfamiliar way. Greg Price: Smooth Ripple profiles the artist’s processes, tools, and concepts through showcasing a series of colorful wall-mounted glass sculptures.

Upcoming Exhibition

HOPE Center for the Arts: Be Seen

Opening Reception: January 15, 2–4 p.m.
Exhibition: January 12–March 20

Since 1979, Irvine-based nonprofit HOPE Center for the Arts has been dedicated to empowering adults with disabilities through the arts. The exhibition HOPE Center for the Arts: Be Seen presents a glimpse into the vibrant range of the HOPE community’s talent and vision. On view are works spanning diverse media and subject matter, showcasing the talents nurtured at HOPE’s studio, alongside a focused presentation of pieces by Donald Perry and James Bruce Robertsons, two of HOPE's most prolific artists. This display of collective energy showcases the transformative power of creativity and inclusion through visual and performing arts. Highlighting the breadth of creativity at HOPE, the opening reception will feature a performance by the Hi Hopes Band, an ensemble of musicians from the HOPE community.


 

City Hall expanded its 17,918-square-foot public area to include a formal exhibition space with three floors of formal display panels. Opening in August 2021, exhibitions serve to promote local artists, showcase artwork created by program participants and instructors, and support the creativity of individuals who live, work, and play in Irvine. Displays have also been curated for conference rooms, reception areas, and offices throughout the building.
