February 23, 2022, will be the last day to see “In Deep Water” at Sonoma Community Center, Sonoma, CA.  The Sonoma Community Center webpage about this project gives all the details:  https://sonomacommunitycenter.org/event/in-deep-water-endangered/

This installation is a collaborative eco art installation art using hand papermaking and printmaking by artists Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback, focused on the current climate crisis and water.  A new configuration of the “In Deep Water” collaborative project will be shown at Gallery Route One Project Space, Point Reyes Station, CA, Nov. 19 – Dec. 26, 2022. The artists plan to continue this project and show it at other venues around the world in 2022-2023.

This unexpected opportunity to show “In Deep Water” at the Sonoma Community Center, Sonoma, CA, was supported in part by an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and we are very happy to have been able to install our work in this beautiful light-filled gallery for longer than the two weeks originally planned, but now another exhibition is coming, and we will take this work down on Feb. 24. 
Please let me know if you want photos or more information about this work.  Public viewing in the Gallery is okay with masks, social distancing and groups of no more than 4 people during regular hours, M-F, 10am to 4 pm.   Just let me know too if you would like to meet me there before the show closes on Feb. 23.
Thanks to Jill Valavanis, Curator and Fine Arts Manager at Sonoma Community Center and to Timothy S. Allen for the photographs of the installation. See more of Tim’s photos at https://allentimphotos2.wordpress.com

The Sonoma Community Center exhibition of the “In Deep Water” project by Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback is supported in part by an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. The whole installation measures about 24 feet wide, 16 feet high and 8 feet deep, and it is made up of 12 panels, each about 2 feet wide and 14 feet long of handmade paper with printmaking on the papers joined by natural threads so it all folds up for easy transportation, and it can be very different at each place where it is installed. Jane and Jami plan to continue adding to this project and exhibiting it around the world. You can walk behind this installation and view the work from the other side too!

View of “In Deep Water” installation by Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback, in progress on Nov. 19, 2021

I am happy to report the receipt of an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts to help support the exhibition of “In Deep Water” at Sonoma Community Center Gallery, Sonoma, California, January 15 to 31, 2022. This collaborative project with printmaking artist Jami Taback results in a mixed-media multi-part installation combining hand papermaking and printmaking and about the climate crisis and water. This grant is for the unexpected opportunity to exhibit this work at the Sonoma Community Center Gallery for two weeks in January 2022. We have also been selected to exhibit this project at Gallery Route One, Point Reyes Station, CA, in Nov. – Dec. 2022, and we will continue working to expand the installation creating more panels to make site-specific installations in multiple venues. We hope to exhibit this work at other places in the US and internationally in 2022 and 2023. The grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts is a great holiday gift! And we are so thankful to be able to do this in-person exhibition at a great gallery space. We are planning a gallery talk and opening at Sonoma Community Center the weekend of January 15-16, 2022, so watch for an update in early January to set the date and time for these events. Joy and Peace to all in 2022.
