Radius Gallery

It’s your last weekend to see ART & CHANGE! 🦋 We’re ending this wonderful exhibit with a Curator’s Talk on Sunday at 3pm. Join artist and curator Audrey Heller as she moderates a discussion with exhibitors from the exhibition. This powerful exhibit brings together a range of Northern California artists who harness their creativity and craft to explore distinct elements of our climate crisis. The work takes us where words cannot, expressing complex concepts through color, form, material, and scale, grappling with the seriousness of our moment without leaving beauty or humor behind. 🌎 Working with unexpected materials and open-ended narratives, these artists provoke conversation, ignite curiosity, and invite engagement - essential ingredients for creating the change we need. 💙 Free & family friendly! @tanneryartscenter @audhell #radiusgallery #artgallery #santacruzgallery #santacruz

ART & CHANGE ◼️ - “You’re Getting Warmer: Rising Global Temperatures 1850-2022” Part of our current exhibition, this quilt created by Lorraine Woodruff-Long illustrates the global change in temperature for every year and month between 1850 to 2022, reflecting the striking trend toward hotter temperatures in recent decades as a result of human-caused climate change. 🥵 Vertical lines represent temperature data for the 12 months of that year. Blue reflects cooler periods and red, warmer. Darker colors indicate more extreme temperatures in both directions. The color of each ½” x 3” piece represents the temperature change of that month & year relative to the 1961-1990 average (which equals zero.) The overall effect reflects a striking trend toward hotter temperatures in recent decades as a result of human-caused climate change. (Made from a yearly/monthly data set courtesy of Professor Ed Hawkins MBE, National Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Reading, UK) 🌡️ ART & CHANGE is open this week! 12-5pm Wednesday-Sunday - This exhibition explores seven creative viewpoints of our shifting climate.

This Week! Apmonia String Quartet perform a series of contemporary experimental music works at Radius Gallery. Morton Feldman's Three Pieces for String Quartet (1956) present us with an interplay of plucked and sustained tones, creating a tapestry of interconnected sonic worlds. Rarely performed, Tony Conrad's microtonal piece Minor (1995), exhibits his characteristic drifting sustained tones as it explores unorthodox minor harmonies. Chiyoko Szlavnics' Gradients of Detail (2021), utilizes a graphic score to produce fluttering moire-like glissandi. Finally, Anthony Braxton's Composition No. 17 (1971) utilizes the composer's "Language Music" system, a symbolic notation allowing for performer interpretation. 📅 Sat., May 2, 2026 🕗 Doors at 6:30pm | Show at 7pm 📍 Radius Gallery, 1050 River St #127, Santa Cruz, CA 🎟 at indexical.org Apmonia String Quartet is a freshly formed group featuring @modney.art and Sabrina Salamone on violins, @julianseneyviola on viola, and @t.j.borden on cello. Based in NYC, the group’s ethos hinges on a rigorous commitment to both interpretation and improvisation in contemporary experimental music. With longstanding individual commitments to a wide array of practices across the spectrum of contemporary music, this group is excited to bring their collective experience to bear in future collaborations and program curation.

Have you seen the new public art installation in front of the gallery? 🔨 Part of our latest exhibition, ART & CHANGE, “Migration” expresses the home uprooted, precarious and on the move. The tall wooden houses’ dimensions recall the shape of animals, stilt-legged, both vulnerable and proud. Where are they from, where are they going, is their exodus performed willingly or forcibly? They ask us to consider who we are when we are not our possessions or identified by place. 🧐 🔨 Designed by artist Todd Laby, MIGRATION is constructed of wood, metal and rock. Todd has a degree in Industrial Design, Furniture and Sculpture form California College of the Arts. He often partners with performance groups and immersive exhibitions, where his multidisciplinary inclinations can be fully realized. ◼️ ART & CHANGE is on view through May 17. In partnership with the Ripple Effect Arts Festival, there will be events throughout the exhibit including Tannery Night on Thursday April 23 from 4-8pm and concerts with Indexical and Genoa Brown. 🎶 Regular gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 12:00-5:00pm. @tanneryartscenter @rippleartsfestsantacruz @toddishuman #radiusgallery #artgallery #santacruzgallery #santacruz
