PAM DOUGLAS AND RAYA YARBROUGH This mother-daughter collaboration transforms what those in power label ‘IMPROPER IDEOLOGY’; into a defiant celebration of truth-telling through art.

IMPROPER IDEOLOGY merges painting, sculpture, poetry, and music into immersive experiences that challenge visitors to inhabit both physical and emotional landscapes. Douglas's mixed-media works don't merely illustrate Yarbrough's poems—they embody them. Text flows across weathered surfaces, intertwines with found objects, and cascades from hanging installations, creating environments where words become tactile and images sing. 

IMPROPER IDEOLOGY Weekend Concert Series:
Friday, September 26 - 7 PM
 
Solo Exhibitions September 3 - September 26

Why We Draw the Nude: The Enduring Power of Life Drawing

TAG + Gallery Girls Live Nude Model Drawing Session

* Three Timeless Benefits of Drawing the Nude *

1. Sharpened Vision Life drawing hones the artist's eye like no other practice. Observing the nude teaches you to look past assumptions and truly see—gestures, shadows, and proportions with clarity.

2. Human Connection & Emotional Truth The unclothed body expresses more than anatomy—itshows vulnerability, emotion, and character. Drawing the nude invites deep empathy and emotional insight.

3. Artistic Ritual & Shared Practice Figure drawing connects us to centuries of artistic tradition. Peter Steinhart calls it 'a secular form of prayer'—a shared act of focus, presence, and creativity.

Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water/ Imaginations: Opening Reception Saturday, March 1 from 5 - 8 pm

 TAG Artists proudly presents Earth, Wind, Fire and Water – a contemplation of nature’s elements, explored in all mediums.

 The California Art League’s exhibition Imaginations is curated by Shana Nys Dambrot – Los Angeles based curator, art critic, and author, and features all media interpreting Imaginations as a “collective of ideas, mood, inclination.” Cash prizes will be awarded and presented to designated artists. Shana Nys Dambrot is co-founder of 13ThingsLA, and a contributor to the Village Voice, Flaunt, Artillery, WhiteHot, and Alta Journal. She is the recipient of the Rabkin Prize for Art Criticism, the Mozaik Art Writers Prize, and the LA Press Club National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Critic of the Year award.

 “Imaginations are a collective of ideas, mood, inclination. Interpretation is at the core of imagination. It's a light where there was none, a universe within a microcosm, or a portrait of someone/somewhere that exists or not. Through the language of value, texture, color, contrast, composition, representational content and/or abstraction, our artists showed us what they imagined.” - California Art League President, Nora Koerber.

TAG Gallery is holding an art auction to raise funds for Red Cross support for victims of the L.A. Fires and TAG. This auction will end during a special TAG gallery reception on the main floor of the North Gallery.
