“Viva La Frida” — A Proctor Art Gallery Artist Theme
Inspired by Frida Kahlo, Viva La Frida is a vivid, immersive celebration of identity, resilience, and creative spirit—reimagined through the lens of Proctor Art Gallery’s community-centered voice.
The Empress by @grayilluart (Tacoma) watercolor on panel 9"x12"
"This piece was inspired by a deep love of nature and the connections nature historically has to magic and the mystical. It features pansies which represent thoughtfulness and meditation, two things intrinsically linked to the practice of tarot."
Today is the last day to submit work for consideration for The Art of Tarot! Link in profile with all the details 🌿 Show opens May 8th
The Gallery installed “Viva La Frida” a Frida Kahlo inspired collection of artwork by the artists at Proctor Art Gallery. Works may range from painting and jewelry to mixed media and textile art, each piece echoing Frida’s fearless approach to self and story.
For Proctor Art Gallery, this theme becomes more than an aesthetic—it’s an invitation to the community:
to show up boldly, to honor where we come from, and to celebrate art as a form of living, breathing truth.
