Spirits in the Art Afterlife

My husband, Chris Towle and I are so honored to be part of the group of artists curated by Gold Bug of Pasadena, who have embellished the blank canvases of the “Spirit” ceramic series created by Roberto Cambi to benefit the ACLU of Southern California


From the Gold Bug website: A group exhibition and auction featuring the sculptural art of twenty contemporary artists playfully exploring life after death.

To generate funds and support for the ACLU of Southern California.

Opening Reception 5pm-9pm Monday, November 1, 2021

34 East Union Street Pasadena, CA 91103


Gold Bug invites you to spend part of your evening, on that celebratory day of Día de los Muertos, delighting in art and drink at the opening reception of Spirit: Art Afterlife. Please join the party of Friends, Family and Participating Artists! No RSVP necessary.

For the exhibit, Gold Bug has provided 20 contemporary artists with the same blank canvas on which to work, a three-dimensional ghost sculpture made by ceramic artist, Roberto Cambi. The collection as a whole represents a broad swath of contemporary surrealist work, asking the viewer to reconsider what they know about the genre today. And, to put a smile on their face.
