Corey Pemberton: Piece by Piece opens Aug. 1 with works by L.A.-based artist Corey Pemberton and curation by Cecily Cullen. The collection includes mixed media paintings, blown glass sculpture and quilted installations “that celebrate the ordinary, the marginalized, and the deeply cherished aspects of our lives.” In conjunction, Crafting the Future: Layers, will open. The exhibition entails the art of six individuals from the Crafting the Future artist residency program in L.A. — a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting racial and ethnic diversity within the art world. Pemberton is the co-founder and director of Crafting the Future. Exhibiting artists are Edmund Arevalo, Ashley Cole, Terrick Gutierrez, Adrienne Muse, Will Raojenina and Shannon Scates.
