About the Exhibit
The Sonoma Community Center is pleased to announce Kelly Autumn’s first solo exhibition “Everything on the Table” showcasing a collection of Autumn’s career-spanning prints on view in Gallery 212. The show runs from Sept. 7- Sept. 28, 2024, and features a wide range of contemporary works on paper including woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, monotypes, and screenprints. Accompanying the exhibition is a showcase of collaborative ceramics created with local artist, Lexi Bakkar, in which Autumn explores the unique dialogue that emerges when printmaking lends itself to surface design on clay.
“Everything on the Table” explores a cultural duality, and the constant discovery of oneself within the varied processes and projects that form the heart of the artist’s identity and creative practice. An exclusive print from the collection, created in the Sonoma Community Center printmaking studio, will be featured as a limited edition giclee with a percentage of the proceeds benefiting the Center’s diverse arts programming and community scholarships.
Exhibition and reception events are free to attend. The gallery is open daily to the public during the community center’s normal business office hours, Monday-Saturday 10am to 5pm. Sundays by appointment. Gallery 212 is located at 276 East Napa Street in Sonoma.
Kelly Autumn, an Asian American visual artist and multidisciplinary printmaker rooted in Sonoma County, merges traditional printmaking methods with experimental mixed media, inspired by her upbringing in the Northern California Bay Area. A member of the California Society of Printmakers, Autumn has worked as an AIR (Artist in Residence) and studio instructor at the Sonoma Community Center since 2020. She now leads the Printmaking Department as its program coordinator. In April 2024, Kelly Autumn was chosen as one of five inaugural Sonoma County emerging artists to receive the LA ASAMBLEA Pa’lante grant. Autumn’s work has been exhibited in various group exhibitions throughout the Bay Area, including Arts Benicia, Danville Art Gallery, the Compound Gallery in Emeryville, the Sanchez Center in Pacifica, and Studio Gallery in San Francisco, California.
