Join us for an opening reception of “We Need Beauty Now More than Ever” at Kaleidoscope artist collective, featuring the work of resident Kaleidoscope artist Gili Wolf.

“We Need Beauty Now More Than Ever” is a heartfelt reminder of what connects us during this time fraught with anxiety, uncertainty, and unrest on so many fronts. This spring themed art show brings together vibrant, intricate, and deeply human works that celebrate the transformative power of beauty.

From bold floral mandalas to large-scale paper installations that ripple like petals in the wind, the pieces invite viewers to pause, breathe, and remember their place in something larger and more beautiful. These artworks are a celebration of color, craft, and care—honoring the small joys and delicate intricacies that make life meaningful.

This s a collective call to return to wonder, to nature, and to each other, and a visual reminder that in times of upheaval, beauty is not frivolous—it is essential.

Join the Public Art Committee (PAC), ACRD, and artist ARTmando, aka Armando Silva on Saturday, April 19 to celebrate Lafayette’s newest and prominently placed mural, El Cielo y La Tierra. Painted on the north facing wall of Señor Gomez restaurant, this mural faces the intersection of S. Public Road and Emma St.

This project is the result of PAC’s recently adopted Public Art Pathways program that prioritizes diversity and representation in Lafayette’s Permanent Art Collection. The Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority was a funding partner with the City for this project.

Join us and enjoy music by Mariachi Las Dahlias, an introduction to the mural by ARTmando, and mingle with community.

Artist ARTmando, aka Armando Silva, will present his work, share stories and life experiences that inspire him, and take questions from the audience.

This workshop will be part history lesson, part crafting workshop. I am excited to share my knowledge of Indigenous beadwork, along with some history and geography about three different methods of beading we’ll be learning. The goal is to gain knowledge of the history that the white ancestors tried to obliterate, and fill our heart with appreciation for the art and lives of Indigenous people.

No skills necessary, and all supplies will be provided. Registration is required and space is limited. Register at kristenhelenpoppe.com/sgscrafting
