The next highly anticipated Contemporary Collectors Council trip is upon us! On January 30th CCC will make its way to Riverside to explore the wonderful culture and art the area has to offer, organized by Tyler Stallings, director of Sweeney Art Gallery at the University of California, Riverside.
The first stop will be to the studio of the talented London-born painter, David Leapman, who will give a personal explanation of his most recent works. Following the studio visit, the group will then head to the wonderful collection of Connie Ransom, whose art collection is displayed in her home that offers a magnificent and unique view of the wilderness of the county. The CCC will then break at lunch at the highly-praised and creative restaurant, Phood, located in the beautiful Historical Mission Inn District of Riverside.
Following lunch, it is a quick stroll across the street to the Sweeney Art Gallery where the exciting tour of the exhibition, Intelligent Design: Interspecies Art, will be led by the former Laguna Art Museum’s curator, Tyler Stallings. Next up will be a visit next door to the California Museum of Photography for a tour of the current exhibition, The End of Film: A Brief History of Digital Photography 1987-2009. An insightful tour will be given on this show that is second in a series of presentations of the riches of David Whitmire Hearst Jr.’s extraordinary, encyclopedic camera collection. The last visit will be to the Riverside Art Museum where the artists of the main exhibition, Edenistic Divergence, take an in-depth look into the role of landscape art through a contemporary lens. Finally, the trip will conclude with a snack at Tio’s Tacos, a cantina that offers delicious Mexican cuisine as well as a wonderful outsider art environment.
All Museum Members are invited to join the Contemporary Collectors Council. Council dues are $100 per person per year. For more information, please contact CCC Chair Johanna Felder.
