Feeling Lost? Tackle Life’s Biggest Questions Inside Oracle, Denver’s New Introspective Art Exhibit.

Oracle, a new experiential art exhibit curated by Esther Hernandez, opened on May 9 at Union Hall Art Space in Denver. The 1,700-square-foot gallery invites visitors to wear blindfolds and be guided by volunteers to 16 works by six local female artists—Yazz Atmore, Faatma Be Oné, Linda Bishara, Rebecca Peebles, Sarah Tenney, and Harriet Woodman—before removing the blindfold to reflect on pieces that resonate with their personal questions. The exhibit includes interactive works, such as a ceremonial weighted blanket and a mixed-media altar, and runs through August 23.

Sacramento art exhibit puts a SMASH!-ing spotlight on piñata culture

A new art exhibition titled 'SMASH! A Piñata Exhibition' has opened at Prism Art Gallery in Midtown, Sacramento, curated by Bridgett Rex and Vianne De Santiago. Running through May 30, the show features piñatas created by amateurs, professional makers, and multidisciplinary artists, exploring the cultural and emotional significance of piñatas beyond their role as party decorations. The exhibition will conclude with a public smashing of selected piñatas. Artists such as Andres Alvarez and Gilbert Rangel contributed works that incorporate personal and cultural narratives, using materials like corn husks and tissue paper to reflect on heritage, memory, and community.
