25 Years in the Making
Multiple Artists
September 13 - November 3, 2018
"A place for friends to gather, be inspired and create art.” In 1993 those were the words that Art Box Studio was founded on and still dedicated to after 25 years. Sylvia Megerdichian, NWS, and fellow Art Box Studio Monday painters, invite you to celebrate 25 years of creativity and expression.

Three Chicks
Martha Cowan, Chick Curtis, Cindy Lopez
August 9 - September 29, 2018 Three Chicks is an exhibit about what three chicks, Martha Cowan, Cindy Lopez, and Chick Curtis, see as everyday moments in ordinary life. Working in their favorite media, oil, monotype, charcoal, and sculpture, the three artists will present a variety of works that are perhaps moments in everyday life that seem insignificant or that often go unnoticed. But these three friends bring those ideas to the forefront for the visual enjoyment of all.

Mission Statement
Kelly Bracamontes
August 30 - October 13, 2018
A re-occurring theme in my artwork has been the California Missions. I am drawn to their unmistakable style and strong sense of California history. My interpretation through painting or collage work is with utmost interest in their simplistic beauty and heritage. Through October 13, 2018

Young Artist Alcove:
Ezekiel Hernandez
August 25 - October 7, 2018
Artist statement: "My artwork is made of watercolor, ink and mixed media (acrylic and collage). Some techniques I used for the bigger piece was I used a huge brush about 3 inches wide to fill most of the color and working wet-in-wet. My goal is to push myself to have a wide variety of experiences with techniques and different media. Another goal is to recreate more from my imagination rather then what is real. I feel I am working towards my goal and there is always room for improvement. What I have learned making these pieces is every time I make a new artwork it makes me love making art and drives me to make more."
Through October 7, 2018

Pigs to Pig Iron
Selections from CCMA’s Collections
July 19 - October 28, 2018
In 1942, with the growing need for steel to build ships to fight in World War II, Henry J. Kaiser secured a tract of land in Fontana that had been a pig farm. There he built the first steel mill in the Pacific Coast states. One of the civil engineers on the project was Carl Hooper Gilman, whose wife Esther Bruton Gilman was an artist and muralist. Through Carl, Esther gained access to the Kaiser Steel construction site and painted a series of eight paintings to depict the transformation.
