'I'm So Happy You Are Here' Group Show & 10 Year Anniversary Party!

Partiful Event Link This August, Glass Rice turns TEN! A decade of exhibitions, unwavering passion, expanding support, and a gallery that’s grown up on Sutter Street. We’re marking this era with ‘I’m So Happy You Are Here’, a group show bringing together some of the artists who’ve shaped our program alongside new voices we’re excited to introduce. For the poster, we asked Lane Fujita to distill ten years into a single image: “This poster is an ode to time, and a reflection on the ten years that Glass Rice has been in operation. A decade feels at once like an eternity and a blip, and the gallery is now firmly somewhere between. This informs the primary tone of the poster which sits just above 50% grey; it’s light enough to have emerged from the void but there’s still more to be realized. Much like the gallery logo, each element carries an echo, an acknowledgment of the lasting impressions left by the work that has graced the gallery space and the words exchanged about it. The vibrant blots of color reference the afterimage you see when closing your eyes after viewing a bright light. They’re derived from archival images of the gallery both on Sutter and its original location in the Design District. Lastly, the image at the center is a photo of the ceiling at the current space, an appreciation of the light that bathes the space and gives visibility to artists and their work within, an elegant reminder of the founding and forever mission of Glass Rice.” Join us for the opening night of ‘I’m So Happy You Are Here’ on August 1, 6–8 PM! We’re teaming up with our neighbors at The Bird Cage next door for a celebratory block party - food, drinks, and tunes flowing all night. See you there!
