1) EXHIBITIONS: DI ROSA IS A VIBRANT LEADER IN THE COMMUNITY, CONNECTING THE WORLD WITH THE ART AND ARTISTS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BY SERVING AS A CATALYST FOR TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES. IN 2019 DI ROSA SHOWCASED THE WORK OF VIOLA FREY AND ITS OWN SIGNIFICANT COLLECTION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ART IN TWO EXHIBITIONS: VIOLA FREY: CENTER STAGE, AND BUILDING A DIFFERENT MODEL: SELECTIONS FROM THE DI ROSA COLLECTION. VIOLA FREY: CENTER STAGE MARKED THE ARTIST'S FIRST MAJOR INSTITUTIONAL SURVEY ON THE WEST COAST SINCE 1981 AND INCLUDED MORE THAN 100 WORKS OF ART, OFFERING A FRESH TAKE ON FREY'S PROLIFIC AND INFLUENTIAL PRACTICE. (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O)A LARGE PORTION OF THE FEATURED WORK WHICH INCLUDES NOT JUST CERAMICS, BUT ALSO PAINTING, DRAWING, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND BRONZE HAD NEVER BEEN SHOWN PUBLICLY. THE LARGE-SCALE PRESENTATION OCCUPIED DI ROSA'S GALLERY 2, MARKING THE FIRST TIME THE GALLERY HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO THE WORK OF A SINGLE ARTIST. BUILDING A DIFFERENT MODEL: SELECTIONS FROM THE DI ROSA COLLECTION EXPLORED DI ROSA'S REMARKABLE HOLDINGS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ART. CURATED BY DAN NADEL, SOME 70 WORKS BY 40 ARTISTS ADDRESSED THE WORLD THROUGH GENERATIVE VISIONS OF TRANSFORMATION AND REPAIR THROUGH SOCIAL, PHYSICAL, AND CEREMONIAL RELATIONSHIPS. THESE ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK ARE A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF THE COLLABORATIVE, COMMUNITY-BASED ART AND LIFE THAT FOUND FERTILE GROUND AT DI ROSA ITSELF.
