Gallery 1
For the fifth year, VSA Arts and Volkswagen of America, Inc., have partnered to recognize and showcase young artists with disabilities, ages 16-25, who are living in the United States. Within this exhibition, a destination involves traversing conceptual distance as evidenced in both time and space. Symbols work to convey meaning and often become signs for navigation. The destination may be a specific scene frozen in time, an abstract filled with emotion, or an intimate reflection of self-discovery. The past, present, and future are explored for theirmeaning and relevance.

Anthony Quinn: A Lifetime of Creating and Collecting Art
Diamond M Gallery
While most of us know the legendary Anthony Quinn (1915-2001) as actor and larger-than-life celebrity, he considered himself at core, an artist. To his immense body of sculpture, painting and drawing he brought a driving, creative spirit, a love for color, texture, form and line, and above all, a good eye. With the wealth and success brought to him by his acting ability, Mr. Quinn amassed a substantial art collection and worked on perfecting his own artistic style. Upon his death in 2001, his collection had grown to over 3,000 items ranging from ancient Roman artifacts to Modern art. Anthony Quinn: A Lifetime of Creating & Collecting Art reveals an international collection of human ability and creativity based on Mr. Quinn's own complex understandings of connoisseurship and art history gathered over his 86 years of life.
