Art Gallery
The Gallery at Andres Institute of Art will host shows six times each year, featuring visiting and regional artists in a variety of media and styles.
The Gallery anteroom features works spanning the career of John Weidman, AIA co-founder, Art Director and Master Sculptor.
An intent of the Gallery, as with the AIA Sculpture Park, is to connect the public with art. The Gallery extends an invitation to view the art and provides several opportunities to meet the artists. There are seating areas to pause with the art before or after a hike, before a concert or anytime you are in the area and we are open.

Earth-Song
These works, created by mixing oil paint with tar and ash, inhabit a space between connection and separation from the natural world, exploring themes of wholeness and decay.
As a material, tar functions both as an industrial signifier and as an alchemical base substance. Earth-Song seeks to hold the beauty and connection we experience in nature alongside the more difficult truths of the moment in which we live. Christopher Volpe
Nora Valdez has utilized sculpture and installations to create work that explores the idea of home and the immigrant experience. She has been focused for many years on creating public art pieces and monumental sculptures. Her thematic concerns are also reflected in her involvement with the community.
Valdez is a professor of Sculpture at Massachusetts College of Arts and Design, Boston. Nora Valdez, born in Argentina, has been living and working in the United States as an artist since 1986. She graduated from the College of Fine Arts (Mercedes San Luis, Argentina) as Professor of Fine Arts and went to study at the Universita per Stranieri in Italy. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Europe, Asia, North, Central and South America, including numerous international Sculpture Symposiums. She has more than 25 permanent Public Art pieces around the world and the United States including the Andres Institute of Art (2004).
