Front Porch Gallery starts the celebration of its 20th anniversary with the opening of the “Save the Ocean 5” Art & Poetry Exhibit. The show, will explore urgent environmental themes, climate change, expressions of beauty and the rejuvenation of the spirit that can be found in nature. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Front Porch Gallery, which opened at its current location on April 2, 2005, is part of Front Porch, a nonprofit organization that supports senior living communities, affordable housing communities and programs and services nationwide. Front Porch communities in the San Diego area include Casa de Mañana, Wesley Palms, Fredericka Manor and Carlsbad By The Sea where the Front Porch Gallery is located.
Established with a generous grant from California Lutheran Homes, the original director, Steve Nossan, curated engaging exhibits until he retired in 2017 and Julie Weaverling took over and continued the excellent caliber of art exhibits. In 2023, Cathy Carey was appointed director. In addition to continuing the high quality exhibits, the mission of the gallery changed to accommodate creatively engaging programming and poetry as part of the shows.
Inspired by Ruth’s Table, its sister gallery in San Francisco, Front Porch Gallery continues to host invitational and juried exhibits of excellent art and poetry as well as offer free art classes that encourage creative engagements and social connections. The gallery places an emphasis on creating a space for adults over sixty and adults with learning differences.
