Meet the Artists Behind Brush and Beyond

Join us on May 2nd at 5PM in The Arts Fund Community Gallery to hear from the artists and curator behind Brush and Beyond: An examination of the human condition. Light refreshments will be available.

Brush and Beyond spotlights Paulo Lima and Nagham Naim, Santa Barbara County artists using diverse media to explore complex topics relevant in our world today.

Curator John Hood says, “The figurative works by Nagham, a Syrian refugee, capture her perilous and determined journey to reach the US in search of a better life. Paulo’s mixed media works are inspired by 19th century Brazilian religious figures, dressed to be displayed in churches or carried during processions. The artists of Brush and Beyond demonstrate the possibilities of what visual art can achieve, while making it approachable and inclusive. Santa Barbara County is home to a wonderfully diverse community of artists and patrons who appreciate variety in creative perspectives. This exhibit addresses a wide range of subject matter, and offers a chance to enjoy a unique blend of painting, sculpture, and mixed media.”

The exhibition is on view March 21st through May 9th at The Arts Fund Community Gallery in Santa Barbara.
