Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office is excited to announce that the William D. Cannon Art Gallery has been selected as one of only three California venues to host the traveling exhibition, Frida Kahlo’s Garden, exploring the life of one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century.
From iconic photographs of the artist, her home, and garden to authentic memorabilia on loan by a Carlsbad private collector, this is more of an experience of Kahlo’s life, home, and natural surroundings.
The exhibition opened September 1 and continues through October 20, 2021 at the Cannon Art Gallery, located at 1775 Dove Lane. Admission is free.
“This exhibition focuses on Frida Kahlo’s relationship with her surroundings such as plants and fruits and animals and the inspiration behind her art,” says Karen McGuire, Curator of Exhibitions at the Cannon Art Gallery. “With installations, photography, historical references and wall panels describing Frida Kahlo’s home, culture and life, visitors to Frida Kahlo’s Garden will be transported to experience Kahlo’s world as she did.”
