UPCOMING EVENTS
Art Center Morro Bay835 Main StMorro Bay, CA93442 Map
Art Center Morro Bay is proud to present, Under Pressure.
Under Pressure is an exhibition of work by the Central Coast Printmakers, a group of around thirty artists who share a love of printmaking.
In this exhibit of individually hand-made prints, there will be a wide variety of styles and printmaking techniques. Printmakers use many different surfaces such as wood, metal, linoleum and plastic, and methods like carving blocks, etching with acid, and painting materials to print, using a large assortment of papers to achieve these images.
Most prints are conceived and made in reverse, so that when the image is transferred to the paper, it will view correctly. The transfer to the paper is accomplished by hand rubbing or with the use of a press.
Under Pressure will be on display in the Main Gallery, concurrent with “Broken Nature” which will be on display in the Virginia Russel Gallery upstairs, from May 26 through June 27, 2022. This event is free and open to the public. Art Center Morro Bay is open daily from 12pm – 4pm.

Featured Artist, TED LEE EMRICK
Art Center Morro Bay835 Main StMorro Bay, CA93442 Map
Art Center Morro Bay is proud to present the glass and multi-media sculptures of Ted Lee Emrick.
Unique to his aquatic connection to the central coast, and having been a surfer for over 59 years, Ted Emrick’s appreciation and respect of his ocean environment has created a powerful artistic style, conscious of light, motion, time and life.
Ted’s contemporary style combined with inspiration from cave paintings and rock expeditions, offer a dynamic blend of visual storytelling within each unique sculpture! During the past 40 years, Ted has created glass ocean doors and installations, working directly with clients and outlasted many of the galleries representing his work.
This current exhibit has been inspired by the struggles in Ukraine, the bravery of its people and their efforts to be free.
“This new body of work is the first I’ve completed in five years! I’m grateful that Art Center Morro Bay is exhibiting these sculptures as I feel they are important and relevant. For now, I hope it keeps the conversation about Ukraine in the forefront, raising awareness that helps continue funding for refugees of those people who have lost everything!”
Ted Emrick earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Cal State Long Beach. His artwork has been widely collected throughout the United States. Personal and corporate collectors include Merv Griffin, Apple, Inc., Morgan Stanley and Caesar’s Palace.
Art collectors will not want to miss these beautifully inspired artworks from his “Shards of Ukraine” series, on display in conjunction with "Broken Nature" exhibit from May 26 through June 27, 2022.

Michael J. Costa first made the long the trek to the Mt. Everest Base Camp in 2016 and one year later returned to Nepal to explore the wonders of Annapurna and the Nagarkot region with
his camera. With images both awe-inspiring and down to earth, Costa captures the spirit of Nepal.
Whether you’re inspired by the great Himalaya mountain range, have a soul-searching experience in Buddhist or Hindu temples, or connect with the people that you meet along the journey, Costa says the adventure is unique for each traveler; determined by who you are and how you choose to engage with the experience.
“The images I captured along the way reflect the people and places I encountered, as well as the nature of my personal experience.” -Costa
Costa visually describes a journey that takes you to places like no others on earth. The rigorous hike to the base of Mt. Everest starts at 9,000 ft in Lukla, Nepal and brings you to the top of
Kalla Pathar at an elevation of 18,600 ft. The artist’s travels took him through different regions in this unique landscape – mountains and villages, plains and glaciers – as well refugee camps affected by the April 25, 2015 earthquake.
Michael J. Costa is a graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He has worked as a photo journalist for the San Mateo Daily Journal and Sierra Star, and as a
videographer for Valley Public Television and Sierra Art Trails. Costa is represented by Stellar Gallery in Oakhurst, CA. He now splits his time between Oakhurst and Los Osos, CA

Featured Artist - Phillip Lopez
Art Center Morro Bay835 Main StMorro Bay, CA93442 Map
Phillip Lopez began his love of ceramics in high school and to this day, his high school teacher remains an inspiration. After high school, Phillip continued his art education and received a BFA from Cal State University Long Beach with a focus on clay, and an MFA from UCLA focusing on design while specializing in blown glass. While at UCLA he studied with Adrian Saxe and Richard Marquis.
Phillip has also studied at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Dear Isle, Maine as well as Pilchuck Glass School with Dale Chihuly, in Stanwood, Washington.
As a third generation Angelino, Phillip found inspiration in the natural environment. Whether swimming at Zuma beach, or camping in Yosemite, nature and color has always influenced his art. As an avid kayak fisherman, his love of the sea has guided and inspired his current series of work. Hand building, throwing on the potter’s wheel, and creating one of a kind sculptures are all incorporated into Phillip's sense of design, creativity and artistic interpretation.
Phillip is currently living and working in Los Osos, Ca. His emphasis is on color and design, primarily using the decoration method of sgraffitto, which is carving on an unfired clay body revealing the contrasting slip/color of the underlying layer.
Phillip maintained a glassblowing studio in Northridge, Ca for many years, taught high school ceramics and art, and currently works out of his Los Osos studio.
Art Center Morro Bay is proud to present Phillip Lopez exhibiting concurrently with Pastel Society of the West Coast and their 36th Annual, International Exhibition of Pastels USA.
Pastels USA and the ceramic pottery of Phillip Lopez will be on display from June 30, 2022 through August 8, 2022.

Whether a world traveler or a homebody, a sense of place naturally finds its way into our painting. Social isolation has allowed us to consider our internal space more than ever. In this workshop we examine the concept of “place” by painting the essence of landscape - both internal and external. You will practice abstract acrylic painting techniques that are connected to the spirit in nature. Abstract painting is often misconstrued as an unrecognizable style of painting where no standard rules of perspective, color theory, or composition exist. We will dispel that myth.
Venture with us into the realm of self-expression by learning to harness nature's energy and direct it onto the canvas. We begin by demonstrating techniques that get you in touch with your surroundings. And we’ll also identify how “place” is sensed, perceived, and then translate into abstract painting.
Instruction includes demonstrations in basic and advanced techniques including painting with rust to create the patina of age, sumi ink, and Stabillo pencils, along with create expressive mark making, handmade stenciling, and collage to create patterns. The results are alive, authentic, and exhilarating.
Unveil the mysteries of abstraction by practicing techniques in form, rhythm and motion. Each student receives individual instruction and group critique.
Diane Williams and Chuck Potter hold Master of Fine Arts degrees in Studio Art and Consciousness from John F Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA. They studied at the University of Hangzhou China, incorporating calligraphy, traditional Chinese landscape painting and Chinese medicine with western art practices.
Their studios are in Crockett, CA. (Sugar City I AN I Studio) Benicia, CA. (I AN I Studio), and Greenville, CA. (Diamond I AN I Studio). They teach in their Benicia studio, and at their mountain retreat in Greenville. They offer destination workshops in places such as Whidbey Island, WA; Morro Bay, CA; Gualala, CA, and Marin MOCA, CA.

One might first consider the feelings of being locked-up. This may conjure thoughts of incarceration and confinement. Shackled by pain and fear, bound by personal or family strife, suppressed emotions of anger, sadness, grief or frustration. In other words, what keeps you locked-up?
This exhibition inspires fresh consideration of our most pressing social concerns through the lenses of art and history, inviting us to consider how we may become allies in the creation of a more humane world.
During this exhibit, artists are asked to emancipate themselves from artistic boundaries and unlock creative freedom!
Inspired by the freedom of captivity, this exhibition focuses on the power of dreams, love, forgiveness and the power of letting go! Liberate your artistic boundaries and set your creative spirit free.
This engaging exhibit will encompass a variety of artistic expression in all styles, ideas and mediums. Members are invited to submit up to (2) wall hung 2D pieces, (10) note cards, (5) portfolio prints, jewelry and (3) sculptures or 3D artworks. Please print entry forms and submit with your artwork on Tuesday, August 9, 2022 from 10am – 2pm.
