As part of the 2024 Berkeley Juneteenth Festival, the City of Berkeley unveiled the newest addition to its public art collection - Delivered, Mable’s Promissory Note, by artist Mildred Howard. The 10’ diameter bronze sculpture weighs nearly 3000 pounds and is installed on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Adeline Street, just south of the Ashby BART Station. The title of this artwork pays tribute to the artist’s mother, Mable Howard, who led the effort to oppose the above-ground BART line in Berkeley which would have divided the community. Kudos to the Civic Arts team and the Civic Arts Commission for coordinating the commission, installation, and celebration! Find more public art in Berkeley:

Conceptual artist and educator with 10+ years of curatorial and permanent art collections management
Looking forward to visiting the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth to see Jaune Quick-to-See Smith's exhibition. From Jaune's website: "I am a cultural arts worker because I, not only, paint, do printmaking, some sculpture, draw, make collage, do public art, but I am also an independent teacher/professor and activist. I lecture, teach printmaking workshops, jury, curate, write and organize exhibitions for the Native community. In my work I use humor and satire to present narratives on ethical treatment of animals, humans and our planet. My work is philosophically centered by my strong traditional Salish beliefs."
“Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map” opens at the Modern on October 15, in less than two weeks. Organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, this retrospective brings together nearly fifty years of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith’s drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptures. Across decades and mediums, Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation) has deployed and reappropriated ideas of mapping, history, and environmentalism while incorporating personal and collective memories. The retrospective offers new frameworks in which to consider contemporary Native American art and shows how Smith has led and initiated some of the most pressing dialogues surrounding land, racism, and cultural preservation—issues at the forefront of contemporary life and art today.

Art is innate to all humans, but it is today mostly framed as decorative business. The Fifth Element initiative by The Club of Rome questions this framing and enquires into the role of art in bringing about a societal transformation. We work with the Future Of Work Foundation and other partners to help humanity emerge from our current crises into desirable futures through art.

In the realm of art, various styles and movements have emerged over the years, each offering a distinct perspective and aesthetic experience. One such captivating style is the informal style, which breaks away from traditional norms and embraces spontaneity, freedom, and experimentation. Within this captivating domain, the work of Cesar Corregio stands out as a testament to the boundless creativity that can be unleashed through this artistic approach.
