Process Over Perfection
This exhibit is a collaboration between the Crocker Art Museum and CLARA (E. Claire Raley Studios for The Performing Arts). Led by Crocker Art Museum Educator Chloe Tomes, students were asked to create a mixed-media piece inspired by Faith Ringgold’s The Sunflowers' Quilting Bee at Arles. Using various art supplies, students were encouraged to make a portrait of themselves or a piece of nature that inspired them. Through this process, students learned the fundamentals of mixed media and crochet to create their unique artwork.

CLARA Mission
CLARA’s mission is to provide education and resources to unleash the creative potential of local arts and culture in Sacramento by:
Bringing arts education programs to public schools with low arts access.
Teaching professional development workshops that help adult artists earn stabilizing revenue through arts education.
Offering low-cost rehearsal and administrative space to arts organizations in the community.
CLARA’s programs provide the resources and support necessary to keep local creative workers here at home, while also building the next generation of Sacramento’s creative thinkers.
