The Malibu Arts Commission is launching "Heading Home," a solo exhibition of original paintings by local artist Gay Summer Rick at the Malibu City Gallery. The show, which opens with a public reception on March 22, features Rick’s signature atmospheric landscapes that blend impressionism with expressive abstraction. Her work focuses on capturing the luminous light and coastal beauty of the California shoreline using palette knife techniques.
This exhibition highlights the role of municipal art programs in supporting local talent and fostering community engagement. By showcasing a Malibu-based artist whose work directly reflects the local environment, the city reinforces its cultural identity and provides a platform for residents to connect with contemporary art in a civic space.
