KARL Inaugural Exhibition
This January, a diverse group of local galleries and arts organizations proudly present the inaugural iteration of Karl —a pop-up, group exhibition hosted at Levi’s Plaza. This collaborative initiative highlights a curated selection of contemporary California artists, offering a fresh perspective on the region’s vibrant art scene.
Set against the backdrop of Levi’s Plaza and its public park—a landmark space designed by acclaimed landscape architect Lawrence Halprin—the exhibition honors the dynamic interplay between art, landscape, and legacy. Halprin’s celebrated design, which seamlessly integrates urban and natural elements, provides a fitting stage for amplifying the richness and diversity of California voices.
Participating Galleries and Organizations:
COL Gallery, Creativity Explored, Glass Rice, Jonathan Carver Moore, NIAD, Root Division, Schlomer Haus
“The Bay Area has garnered significant media attention in recent years, often highlighting its challenges rather than its successes. With Karl, our goal is to celebrate the thriving arts ecosystem that persists and flourishes despite the headlines. Many of the participating organizations have championed artists for decades, while emerging galleries bring fresh energy to the local scene. Together, we aim to showcase the resilience and creativity that make this community so unique,” Callie Jones, COL Gallery
