Thornton Rotunda \n  \nGallery Collective members are invited to meet and mingle with the local artists featured in the Centennial exhibition Local Visions: Reimagining the Façade\, now on view in SDMA Gallery 6.

Conceived as part of the Museum’s Centennial\, Local Visions grew out of an open call that invited local artists to reimagine the Museum’s landmark exterior through their own contemporary perspectives. The response to the call was remarkable\, with an inspiring range of proposals that demonstrated the depth of talent in our community. From these submissions\, a selection of works was chosen to reflect both the diversity of artistic approaches and the shared sense of connection to this historic building. \nTogether\, these works illuminate how a single façade can serve as both subject and symbol; honored\, transformed\, and reinterpreted in ways that bridge community and architecture\, past and present\, tradition and innovation. \nMany thanks to the artists whose work appears in the exhibition. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Wagner Humphreys\, Timeless (detail)\, 2025.

Growing up as a child with a disability that caused his legs to stop developing\, Toulouse-Lautrec turned to drawing rather than the sports his family pursued. His short but celebrated career immortalized the cabaret culture of Belle Époque Paris and revolutionized the art of the poster. Working in the popular and modern art form of the color lithograph\, Toulouse-Lautrec reached unprecedented audiences with spellbinding visuals and eye-catching colors. Inspired and encouraged by Impressionists such as Edgar Degas and his close friend Vincent van Gogh\, and taking influence from the flattened color patterns of Japanese graphic arts\, Toulouse-Lautrec left an unforgettable image of the spectacle\, people\, and performers of turn-of-the-century Paris. Cafés and Cabarets: The Spectacular Art of Toulouse-Lautrec is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see original works from this celebrated artist. \n  URL:https://www.sdmart.org/event/gallery-collective-film-night-john-hustons-moulin-rouge-1952/ LOCATION:Museum of Photographic Arts at The San Diego Museum of Art\, 1649 El Prado\, San Diego\, CA\, 92101\, United States CATEGORIES:Member Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sdmart.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Moulin-Rouge-poster_crop.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260610T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260610T190000 DTSTAMP:20260727T071529 CREATED:20260508T230231Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260508T230231Z UID:739120-1781107200-1781118000@www.sdmart.org SUMMARY:Member Night at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 10\n4:00–7:00 p.m. \n  \nMembers get special late-night access to two special exhibitions!\nJoin us for Member Night at the Museum\, a new after-hours event series just for members. \nCome for all or part of the event and enjoy a special evening look at two of the Museum’s special Centennial exhibitions as we celebrate 100 years of art and community with our members! \nEnjoy light refreshments while mingling with fellow members and Museum staff\, plus spin our prize wheel for possible membership extensions or partner guest pass giveaways.

As imperial images were a completely new invention in the second half of the 19th century\, this talk will discuss the varied influences on the woodblock prints\, lithographs\, and photographs of the empresses\, and how they worked to establish the women as individuals\, but also timeless in the public eye. \nSpeaker Bio: Alison J.

She is co-editor and contributing author for The Visual Culture of Meiji Japan: Negotiating the Transition to Modernity (Routledge\, 2021) and Transposed Memory: Visual Sites of National Recollection in 20th and 21st Century East Asia (Brill\, 2024). Her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952 (Routledge\, 2025) analyzes the social impact of the images of the modern Japanese empresses. Miller received her PhD from the University of Kansas and has taught at Bowdoin College and the Kansas City Art Institute. Her work has been funded by a Fulbright Fellowship\, Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship\, Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellowship\, Appalachian College Association Faculty Fellowship\, and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship\, among others. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link.
