Exhibition Location:

OneHouse Arts Gallery | Rowland Heights, California

Defined by its 12-foot-high ceilings, expansive wall surfaces, and large storefront windows, the space functions as both an art classroom and an accessible public gallery in a neighborhood retail space.The classroom integrates both learning and cultural dialogue, where young students experiment with ideas and materials and passersby encounter exhibitions via the window displays. Open-minded, welcoming, and deeply connected to its neighborhood, this OneHouse Arts location reflects the belief that meaningful art experiences can exist within the everyday spaces where people gather and interact.

OneHouse Arts Intro:

OneHouse Arts is an experimental art school that helps children discover art by introducing them to various methods, staying open to their artistic inclinations, providing them with space to create, and giving their art a place in the world at large. We combine the spirit of active research, art experimentation, and self-expression with the cognitive developmental process of children. Our philosophy and instruction improves children’s growing aesthetic ability and communication skills while ultimately establishing a more intimate relationship between individuals and art.
