Worth Ryder Art Gallery and the Department of Art Practice is pleased to present Rage Against the Dying Light, a group exhibition featuring artworks by students in the Spring 2026 Advanced Studio Critique Program. The works in this exhibition examine the persistent efforts required to maintain identity, memory, and community in environments of change and neglect through mediums of painting, sculpture, and installation. Through the steady, tactile acts of making through materials like hair, doilies, porcelain, and found objects, these 9 artists are using a variety of materials to represent the body, land and its multitude of transformations. 

Please be sure to join us during the opening reception on April 1st, 2026 from 4pm - 6pm at the Worth Ryder Art Gallery.

Nailah Babatunde-Bey

Art Practice is saddened to share the passing of Mary Lovelace O’Neal on May 10, 2026 at the age of 84. Lovelace O’Neal joined the faculty of Art Practice as an Assistant Professor in 1979, and retired after an illustrious career in 2006.

Over the course of her life, Lovelace O’Neal developed a singular visual language that was acutely personal and profoundly political. Drawing on a broad range of influences—from Minimalism to Abstract Expressionism—Lovelace O’Neal’s practice was at once worldly and philosophical, parsing social themes of race and gender while remaining fully immersed in conceptual and metaphysical investigations of joy, exuberance, nature, and the sublime.

Throughout her six-decade career, Lovelace O’Neal produced a remarkable body of work—paintings, drawings, and prints, all reconciling the intimate and the monumental, the minimalist and the expressionist, personal narrative and collective mythology. Often working on a grand scale, Lovelace O’Neal was renowned for her keen sensitivity to color and unexpected use of materials. Her practice moved fluidly between figuration and abstraction—the suggestion of human, animal, and architectural forms often lurking beneath vivid, painterly surfaces—while enigmatic, often inscrutable, titles hinted opaquely at narratives never fully revealed.

Lovelace O’Neal spent much the last 20 years of her lifein Mérida, Mexico with husband and artist Patricio Moreno Toro. In 2024, the artist’s final body of work, The Mexico Works, debuted at Boesky Gallery in New York. With these monumental paintings—all made between 2021 and 2023—the artist mined the visual language she developed over her long career, iterating on the imaginative forms, innovative materiality, and inventive handling of color that characterize her oeuvre.

One more day until Tea. Dance., presented by SFAC Galleries and UC Berkeley Art Practice Department on Saturday May 2 at 4:00 P.M. 🍵💃🏽

🪩 Come celebrate the closing of “Dream Jungle,” while enjoying a lush retirement party in honor of artist and educator Al-An deSouza at SFAC Main Gallery!

💫 DeSouza’s decades-long career across pedagogy, fiction, and multimedia art has profoundly shaped contemporary discourse with wit, depth, and provocation. The party takes the form of a tea dance, once a genteel ritual of Victorian high society, that has since been reclaimed by queer communities as a celebration of daytime pleasure, collective joy, and radical visibility.

🗓️The evening opens with a live reading by deSouza, a special performance by adrian clutario, and a closing celebration inspired by the tea dance, an invitation to sip, swirl, and sway in a space where old-world frill meets raucous delight.

This event is free and open to the public, and will be held at SFAC Main Gallery. It also marks the final day of “Dream Jungle,” our current Main Gallery exhibition!

The exhibition will open April 30 with an opening reception April 30, 4-6pm at the Worth Ryder Art Gallery. During the opening reception, there will be a performance in the gallery at 5pm. The exhibition will close May 19 with a closing reception May 19, 5pm, following the Art Practice graduation ceremony.

THIS SATURDAY @qualiacontemporaryart

Gallery Talk with Cathy Lu and Yulia Pinkusevich
‘Emergence’ at Qualia Gallery, Palo Alto, Saturday, April 25, 1pm

Join us for a special conversation with Berkeley’s new ceramics professor @_cathyclu_ and Mills College at Northeastern painting professor @yuliapink, whose current exhibition Emergence is on view at Qualia Gallery. The discussion will be moderated by art history alumna and LA-based curator Patricia Cariño-Valdez @patriciacvaldez.

Together, Lu and Pinkusevich will speak about the ideas behind Emergence, their individual artistic practices, and the experience of working as artists and faculty at a moment of profound change—both in the Bay Area art world and in higher education. The conversation will reflect on what it means to make, teach, and sustain creative work in a shifting cultural and institutional landscape, and how artists continue to shape new forms of community, critique, and possibility.

Sparkling refreshments will be served and we hope you’ll stay and network/mingle with us after the talk.
