The late Ruth Tunstall-Grant was a true alternative hero who made a lasting impact on the local creative community. This exhibition celebrates Tunstall-Grant’s life and legacy as an artist and advocate for children’s rights and social justice issues in Santa Clara County. She led the charge on bringing arts education for San Jose’s underserved schools and worked to introduce an art program at the Santa Clara County Children’s Shelter—just two of the many initiatives she fostered in her lifetime. The reception runs from 6pm-8pm.Tunstall-Grant Retrospective

Ric Ambrose is both an artist and an arts professional. As the executive director of the Richmond Art Center, he is experienced in curating exhibitions and managing collections. In his large-format drawings in “Going Places: Drawings by Ric Ambrose,” he captures cityscapes and landscapes in a style that blends the precision of photorealism with the flaws of human memory. Each drawing in this collection plays out like a curated collection of remembrances pulled together in a single frame. By cobbling together disparate scenes into a continuous panorama, Ambrose creates snapshots that are both fixed and unbound by time and space. Runs through Apr. 14.
