SUMMARY:"Who Am I?" portraits by Leslie Plato Smith
DESCRIPTION:For March we are honored to feature the work of local Bay Area artist Leslie Plato Smith\, in her latest show entitled\, “Who Am I?” \n“We are living in turbulent times. We are questioning our values\, beliefs\, and education. Our national leaders prove to be untrustworthy\, as the media feeds misleading narratives. Our history feels as uncertain as our future. We are having difficulty finding common ground\, the truth\, and what we stand for. Conflict is everywhere. Everyone is asking themselves: “Who Am I?” \nArtist Bio:\nChoctaw\, Viking\, AVChancellor\, Governmental Relations\, emerita. Highlights: national award for bringing together 60 art departments\, creating 125 life-size statues showing how budget cuts negatively impact access and opportunity\, democracy and upward mobility; European Cultural Centre’s Venice Biennale: “Who Are We?”; Spotlight Artist for Richmond Art Center\, “Vulnerability;” “Clay Sustains: Vessels of Change” Palo Alto Art Center. \nPlato Smith’s grandfather was born on the Choctaw Reservation and her orphaned grandmother was born to immigrant parents from Denmark and Sweden. Migration\, immigration\, resettlement and environment/wildlife are key themes that resonate through her creative practice and professional work. She is very committed to acknowledgement of ALL LIFE. Her mother\, Lee Plato Smith\, educated at California School of Fine Arts\, taught her to draw off the edge and never be afraid of making mistakes. \nMarch 6th – 28th\, 2026\nFirst Friday reception: March 6th 5-10pm \nHours:\nSaturdays 1-5pm\nEvery first Friday of the month 5-9pm\notherwise by appointment
