THOUSAND OAKS — In November of 2018, the Conejo Valley region was left reeling from two back-to-back calamities: a deadly mass shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill on November 7, followed by the devastating Woolsey wildfire on November 8. The events claimed lives, forced thousands to evacuate their homes and left a community grief-stricken. Now almost a year after the “twin tragedies,” artists of international and national renown will recall the community’s strength, compassion and connection through a powerful group exhibition opening October 18, 2019, at the California Museum of Art Thousand Oaks (CMATO).

This group exhibition features seven artists who explore themes of resilience, loss and hope and includes large-scale paintings, photographs, mixed-media, virtual reality and more.

CMATO is open Thursdays from 3:00-7:00 PM and Friday-Sunday from 12:00-7:00 PM. General admission is free. Visit www.cmato.org for more info.
