FRIENDSGIVING 2024 - Alta Adams
In the spirit of gratitude and creative communion, this intimate Friendsgiving exhibition celebrates the power of art, wine and community to bring us together. Featuring the evocative artworks of Jennia Fredrique Aponte, Calvin Clausell Jr., Kipkemoi, and Floyd Strickland, the special collection invites us to reflect on shared narratives, cultural richness, and the beauty of connection.
Each artist brings a unique perspective, weaving a tapestry of resilience, identity, and vision that resonates deeply in this season of togetherness. This exhibition honors not only the art but the artists themselves, whose stories inspire and whose voices enrich our shared experience. Thank you to Ingrid Best and iBest Wines for bringing us all together.

RECLAIMED
In Reclaimed, Kevin A. Williams paints a young Black girl whose very presence defies centuries of erasure. Her hair, unapologetically full and untamed, signals a quiet rebellion against the tyranny of assimilation—a refusal to conform to a standard never meant for her. She holds an artifact from the Benin Empire, a piece of her history long stolen but never forgotten. Her gaze, steady and confident, and her flowing white dress speak of royalty that transcends time and circumstance. To her, this is no act of reclamation, but a reminder of what has always been hers. The energy in this painting is rooted in self-awareness, a knowing that to reclaim is not to recover, but to affirm what was never lost—identity, pride, and power.
