Upcoming Exhibition
Tell Me A Story: A Visual Memoir in Paint and Print by Bea Gold
Opening Celebration: November 2 | Time: Noon
Exhibition: November 2 - January 2
At 98 years old, artist Bea Gold continues to paint and carve woodcut prints, each work carrying a memory, a relationship, a moment in time. Her art is a visual memoir — telling the stories of her life through expressive colors, characters, and forms. Pets, family, friends, teachers, and even strangers find their way into her work, becoming part of a larger tapestry of resilience, joy, and human connection.
From her childhood in Brooklyn to her training at New York’s High School of Music & Art and the Art Students League, and later to her years building a family and community in Los Angeles, Bea has always found a way to keep creating. Her work embodies nearly a century of lived experience, reminding us how art connects us to our own memories — and to one another across generations.
This exhibition is not just a showcase of paintings and prints; it is a celebration of a life lived fully and creatively.
