Join Southern Exposure as we honor our radical legacy and the transformative acts of art and community to come at our 50th Anniversary celebration. We will be bringing out an amazing array of entertainment, including a DJ set from Brown Angel (fka Brown Amy), a 50th birthday cake by local bakery Le Dix-Sept Pâtisserie, beer on tap from BareBottle Brewing Co., a screenprinting station by artist Alejandra Rubio, and a plant swap installation organized by exhibiting artist Erina Alejo. Southern Exposure is thrilled to invite you to celebrate our landmark 50th Anniversary on September 14, 2024, at 6:00 PM!

We will honor our diverse and radical legacy through a group exhibition titled A leaf a gourd a shell a net a bag a sling a sack a bottle a pot a box a container, which will be on view September 14 through November 16, 2024. Our 50th Anniversary Celebration will serve as both an opening for this exhibition and an anniversary party. The exhibition features artwork by Erina Alejo, Enrique Chagoya & Kara Maria, Futurefarmers & Shaun O'Dell, Marcel Pardo Ariza & Julián Delgado Lopera, Related Tactics, and Pablo Tut. This show embodies Southern Exposure’s identity as a container for the many multivocal histories and imagined futures that make up our remarkable artist-centered community.

Alongside the exhibition and celebration, Southern Exposure will also host a series of events, including an art walk with Futurefarmers and a panel with representatives from other organizations who are also celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.
