A Tale of Two Cities is a collaborative exhibition between Sparks Gallery in San Diego and bG Gallery in Santa Monica: two art galleries connected by the same coastline, and shaped individually by their respective cities’ rhythms, energies, and audiences. Through this collaborative partnership exhibit, Southern California artists and internationally collected artists represented by each gallery will be on view in each other’s gallery for a limited showing. 

On view from January 7th– February 7th in both galleries, the works are curated toward the partner gallery’s audience, and each celebrates the spirit of dialogue, play, and shared imagination that can flourish when two art worlds meet. For this gallery swap, Sparks Gallery brings to bG Gallery a vibrant selection of works by Alexander Arshansky, Kathleen Kane-Murrell, and Ron Carlson. Meditative and expressive works by bG Gallery artists coming to Sparks Gallery include but not limited to: Jayne Walther, Michelle Kingdom, Gay Summer Rick, Gregory Horndeski, Melissa Meier, and Wrona Gall. Learn more about their special exhibit reception at bG Gallery in Santa Monica on January 10th HERE.

Preregistration is required.
