SUMMARY:Book Art Making at the Torrance Art Museum!
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US!\n\nSaturday April 25th from 11AM to 3PM create your own one- of-a-kind artists’ book in conjunction with and response to the incredible Ralph Steadman show “And Another currently at the beautiful Torrance Art Museum! (TAM)\n\n\nExplore the show\, and add your own text and images to your book!\nOn view from March 28 – May 09\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAIN GALLERY: Ralph Steadman: and Another Thing\nThis traveling exhibition spans over 60 years of Ralph Steadman’s influential career\, featuring more than 140 original artworks and ephemera\, including sketchbooks\, handwritten notes\, and personal photographs. Steadman is best known for his long collaboration with Hunter S. Thompson\, notably illustrating “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” Their partnership helped define Gonzo journalism\, a style of reporting that blends personal experience with political commentary. Coined by journalist Bill Cardoso\, Gonzo’s impact is still felt today in online news\, editorial pieces\, social media\, and political punditry. \nThe exhibition showcases his diverse body of work\, from iconic illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” and Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” to collections like “The Gonzovation Trilogy\,” created in collaboration with documentarian and filmmaker Ceri Levy to raise awareness about endangered species. Featured works include nine portraits of U.S. Presidents\, over 20 images of famous people\, including T.S. Eliot\, Karl Marx\, Virginia Woolf\, and George Orwell\, and “Vintage Dr. Gonzo\,” a life-size bronze sculpture. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Ralph Steadman Art Collection. Sponsored by United Therapeutics\, Flying Dog\, and Beta Technologies.

SUMMARY:Artist-In-Residence: The Silverlake Independent JCC!
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to serve as this year’s Artist-In-Residence at the SILVERLAKE INDEPENDENT JCC!\nI have created an 18 x 30′ tapestry in six panels\, which will be detailed in blog posts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Days of Awesome at SIJCC!\nEach year\, Rosh Hashanah\, Yom Kippur\, and the days in between invite us to reconnect with what matters most. In Jewish tradition\, they are called the Days of Awe. At SIJCC\, we call them the Days of Awesome. The Days of Awesome are a community-rooted invitation to show up just as you are. To reconnect with yourself. To recast belonging. To remember that we are part of something imaginative and courageous. \nCome with questions\, hopes\, hurts. Bring your family\, your friends\, your imagination.\nEverybody-friendly. God-optional.  \nChildcare\, youth programming\, and three communal meals will nourish us along the way.\nSee options below to decide what’s right for you. \n\n We’re thrilled to welcome Debra Disman as this year’s Days of Awesome Artist-in-Residence!\n\nA Los Angeles–based artist\, Debra’s work bridges books\, textiles\, sculpture\, and installation to create spaces of wonder\, reflection\, and connection. Her practice weaves together making\, teaching\, and community engagement\, and her pieces have been shown in museums and art centers across the country.\nThis season she’s creating an original\, interactive tapestry for our High Holidays – a chance for our community to experience art as part of our sacred gatherings.\n\n Experience it at Days of Awesome.\n\n\n#HighHolidays #SIJCC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtist-in-Residence\nDebra Disman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDebra Disman is a Los Angeles-based artist known for her work inspired by the book\, both as a solo practitioner and in the public sphere of community engagement. Her practice traverses textiles\, installation\, sculpture and performance to push the familiar into forms that arrest and baffle\, while simultaneously offering places of contemplation and solace. As a maker\, teaching artist\, researcher and writer she creates work and projects which investigate states of being and connectiveness through intensive interactions with materials while attempting to fully explore and exploit their haptic properties. \nHer work is widely shown in museums\, galleries\, art centers\, universities and libraries including The Torrance Art Museum; Art Share LA; The Irvine Fine Arts Center; The New Bedford Art Museum; The Brand Library and Art Center; ReflectSpace Gallery in Glendale\, CA; Craft Contemporary in LA: The Long Beach Museum of Art; The University of the Arts in Philadelphia; The Cape Cod Museum of Art; and The Charles E. Young Research Library at UCLA\, as well as through social practice and community endeavors. \nDisman was the featured artist for the 2016 Big Read in LA and recipient of an 2016-17 WORD: Artist Grant / Bruce Geller Memorial Prize. She was commissioned by LA’s Craft Contemporary to create the interactive book “Chromatic Interactions” in 2017 and 18th Street Arts Center to create the artists’ book\, “Unfolding Possibilities” in 2021. Her book “CONCURRENCIES Charlotte Salomon and Eva Hesse: Genius\, Trauma and the Creative Imagination” was published by ReflectSpace Gallery/Glendale Arts and Culture in 2023. \nShe was a 2018 Studio Resident at the Camera Obscura Art Lab at 1450 Ocean in Santa Monica\, and has served as an Artist-in-Residence for the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs since 2017\, directing the “We Write the Book” project.

This versatile and sculptural book requires no hole punching or sewing\, making it perfect for artists of all skill levels. \n\n\nYou’ll learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nCreate the foundational folded and glued structure \n\n\nDisplay your book in multiple creative ways \n\n\nTransform the sculptural form into a familiar codex format \n\n\nExplore various presentation methods and artistic possibilities  \n\n\n\n\nDebra will also share examples from her own extensive body of work\, showing how she has used this structure to create numerous compelling book pieces. \n\n\nWhat You Need\n\n\nThe beauty of this workshop is its accessibility—you can literally create this structure using just 4 pieces of standard 8.5 x 11″ copier paper! However\, for the best results\, Debra recommends having these materials on hand: \n\n\nEssential Tools\n\n\n\n\nScissors (or just use folding and tearing techniques!) \n\n\nGlue stick \n\n\nPencil \n\n\nBone folder (optional—you can use your glue stick as a folding tool) \n\n\n\n\nRecommended Materials\n\n\n\n\nAccordion Spine: One 11 x 17″ tag board or cardstock sheet \n\n\nCovers: Two 8.5 x 5.5″ pieces of railroad board or similar cardboard \n\n\nPages: Three 8.5 x 5.5″ pieces (or slightly smaller at 5.25″ for easier handling) \n\n\n\n\nChoose your own colors and get creative with your material choices! \n\n\nOptional Enhancement Materials\n\n\n\n\nScrap paper and easy-to-glue fabric \n\n\nWashi tape\, decorative tapes\, stickers\, ribbon \n\n\nEphemera: old letters\, cards\, ticket stubs\, journal pages\, and other meaningful materials \n\n\n\n\nWhy This Workshop?\n\n\nThe “Folded Fan” structure is incredibly versatile and forgiving\, making it an ideal entry point for new bookmakers while offering endless creative possibilities for experienced artists. Whether you’re interested in creating artist books\, journals\, display pieces\, or sculptural works\, this foundational technique will open up new avenues for your artistic expression. \n\n\nReady to Join?\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn from Debra Disman and connect with fellow artists in our supportive online community. Spaces are limited\, so register today! \n\n\nSign up here using our Google form \n\n\nRemember: You’ll receive your Zoom link the day before the workshop\, so keep an eye on your inbox! \n\n\nWe can’t wait to see what beautiful books you’ll create. Happy making \n\n\nQuestions about the workshop? Feel free to reach out to Shoebox Arts for more information. shoeboxartsla@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
