The di Rosa Center for Contemporary has been awarded a grant from the Five Arts Fund, a donor-advised fund of Napa Valley Community Foundation, to support its Education and Civic Engagement initiatives.
The funding will underwrite di Rosa’s Community Open Studios / Haciendo Arte con Todos program and gallery interpretation areas throughout 2019.
In October 2018, di Rosa revived the program to commemorate a year of healing. Due to overwhelming popularity, the Community Open Studios / Haciendo Arte con Todos is now part of di Rosa’s regular programming.
Di Rosa’s current exhibitions are “Viola Frey: Center Stage” (Feb. 23–Dec. 29) and “Building a Different Model: Selections from the di Rosa Collection” (March 9– Dec. 29). Two iPads, located within the Program Hub of Gallery 2, are dedicated to each exhibition, containing interactive learning materials and applications. The Program Hub also contains a lounge area where visitors can practice their hand at figure drawing or build their own models with magnetized wooden blocks. All interpretation areas include reading materials supporting the themes and artists within both exhibitions.
