in person at the TRYST Alternative Art Fair at Torrance Art Museum and online on Artsy
Lauren Powell Projects is pleased to present Holding Sweetness, a three person group exhibition featuring Jackie Rines, Haley Roeser, and Ari Salka.
Alongside one another through ceramics, painting, and culinary art these three Los Angeles-based artists allow for process to be a guiding force in their different approaches and mediums. Through use of clay, batter, and paint each artist formulates a playful offering to what holding sweetness can entail.
Holding Sweetness will be on view in person at the Tryst Alternative Art Fair October 27th-29th run through the Torrance Art Museum at 21535 Hawthorne Blvd, Torrance, CA. The preview will take place on Friday Oct. 27th, 4-6pm, and will otherwise be open Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 28-29th, 12-6pm and available to view on Artsy through December 31st.
